Microsoft Offers A Modified Settlement

Since Connectix makes software that lets Windows programs work on Macs, seems like same old Microsoft tricks." gnovos points to another story at MSNBC on the shifting terms of this proposal.

    If ever I am in court I want the ability to write my own sentence like ms appears to be doing.

    I understand wiggling of Microsoft and attempts to put everything into its own software. What I don't understand is why Apple hopes people will go out and buy super-hyper-pricey Apple computer for a poor school? Sure they can. One computer instead of ten. But I hope it won't happen.
    Kids need computers and more of them. Not one nice-looking (where each will have, say, 5 minutes of working time), but many regular ones.
    And a choice of whatever OS they want.

    Of course Microsoft would require those teachers to be MCSE's.
