Highlight: 'Overall, the department said it received about 7,500 comments from people in favor of the settlement reached by the federal government and nine states, while 15,000 opposed it. Another 7,000 comments were dismissed as opinion, like "I hate Microsoft."' Apparently they have to publish and respond to each one." CNN is carrying the AP wire story as well.

How many of the 7,500 comments in favor of the settlement came from Microsoft?

And...

How many of the 7,000 "I hate microsoft" comments came from /. readers?
