DOJ Argues in Favor of MS Settlement
hpa writes: "It is described in this article on CNET the Department of Justice is arguing in favour of the proposed settlement, because the government's case was too weak to impose additional penalties on Microsoft. Somehow this seems like a very odd thing to me, effectively the prosecution is pleading on the part of the defendant..." There's also an AP story.
...another /.er's comment i once read:
The DOJ was supposed to come down on Microsoft, but they went down on them instead.
;o
Seriously, this does not suprise me at all, given the priorities of the current administration.
it won!
How we know is more important than what we know.
You spelled "innovation" wrong. Although given that it was a GWB quote, perhaps you were quoting him accurately.
"It's overkill, of course. But you can never have too much overkill." - Anonymous Slashdot Coward
"If GWB really said, 'I prefer inovation [sic] over legislation,' then Microsoft's commercials really sank into him. "
Yet another reason why the FCC should limit the kinds of commercials that are broadcast during children's programming.
