Judge Grants MS's No-Press Request
jeffy124 writes: "We already know that Microsoft has requested to bar the media from proceedings in the anti-trust suit. Judge Kollar-Kotelly has granted that request. A 1913 law permitted public access to anti-trust proceedings, but only if the federal government were involved. Because the case no longer includes the feds, that law no longer applies, so MS has successfully closed the doors to the press and public." An anonymous reader points out this coverage at InfoWorld as well.
if only they could close the security doors on their products...
That's it! I'm packing my bags and moving to Canada. I'm now convinced that our government is in the back pocket of MS and corporate interests. Enron is just the beginning. Welcome to the end...
ugh...
Don't think that a small group of dedicated individuals can't change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.
Appropriate that they wouldn't want press. Pressing anything crashes Windows.

Your an idiot right?
"the guy who purjured himself, obstructed justice, and disgraced the Presidency"
If you don't mind my saying so (even if you do, for that matter), it seems to me that with the possible exception of Carter, this describes every U.S. President in the past 40 years.
"the guy who got a hummer in the Oval Office"
That too.
I believe the judge should make Microsoft release the source code, internal documentation and all trade secrets to the public domain within a week. Furthermore, the judge should make Microsoft evenly split all their money and assets between all free and open source software projects in existance, even those projects started for the sole purpose of getting that free money, as the purpose isn't to help free software and open source projects, but to ruin Microsoft. Furthermore, the judge should rule that all shareholders, management, employees, family and friends of employees, and anybody else who is even remotely related to Microsoft must give all their personal assets to the aforementioned free software and open source projects. Furthermore, all those people must sell themselves as slaves and give that money to those projects as well. Finally, when all is said and done, there will be no more Microsoft, and the world will have no choice but to have a choice in the matter of what operating system and software they will use from now on.
Oh well.
Negra Modelo... because Guiness sucks.
As I have been quoted as saying in the past in InfoWorld, Fortune, and BusinessWeek, the only just resolution is the death penalty for Microsoft.
