Credit Suisse analyst Heath Terry isn't worried about the odd billion spent on new facilities or the free lunches for which the company is famous. His concern is Bill Gates & Co.

I have felt that the public concern has followed the concerns expressed by various legislators both in Congress and state legislatures, concerns about so-called activist judges.
