States Drop Planned Presentation of Modular Windows
sketchkid writes "CNBC just reported that the nine states have dropped their planned presentation of a version of Windows XP without certain "middleware". Apparently, Microsoft said the news of this presentation blindsided them and that they would need "an indefinite period of time to prepare its response", but the states don't want to prolong the case any more."
In the Microsoft Dictionary we find: Prepare (v) Rig.

"By Jove Sherlock, I've found the bloody knife with Moriarty's fingerprints all over it!"
"That's astounding, Watson! I want to see this evidence. Moriarty, how do you feel about this?"
"The law allows me time to consider this evidence, and I will need an infinite amount of it."
"Well, we don't have an infinite amount of time, therefore we do not have enough time to consider the knife. Too bad, I really wanted to see it."
"Case dismissed."

Yeah, of course. They'll take for granted that the states were going to prove that "Windows XP Embedded: The modular version of Windows" is modular.
Also on the list of things the states were going to prove is that the milk in my Cheerios is milk and not Elmer's glue, and that my Windows XP Workstation is really running XP, not PalmOS.
no, it was actually gonna work to MS's favor- when the stripped down version hung, they'd have their infinite preparation time!
