Microsoft Seeks Dismissal with 9 Dissenting States
zalix writes "Microsoft is seeking a dismissal of the
case brought by the 9 States who have refused to settle. In court papers filed
yesterday Microsoft claims that the states have no contitutional authority to
bring such action stating that "Permitting the nonsettling states to seek
sweeping, nationwide relief under the federal antitrust laws and would raise serious

the editors post an OBVIOUS JOKE, and then mod people down for commenting on it? go FSCK yourselves moderators!
When I replied that way, there were "1 comments, 0 above your treshhold". After I hit submit, there were about 20 others saying the same thing.
That was only offtopic if you couldn't remember the parent post by the time you got to this one. The correct moderation was "Funny" if you liked the joke, or "Overrated" if you didn't.

Mundie said Microsoft is aware of the power of licensing pacts, but it is treading lightly for now. "If you stand in our shoes, we get enough flak just trying to get people to register their software," he said.
