Microsoft Antitrust Judgement
An anonymous reader writes "Here are the links to the as-yet-unreleased judgement in the Microsoft case by CKK: Final Decree, Memorandum Opinion, Public Interest Order, Opinion on the State Settlement, State Settlement Order." In brief: Kollar-Kotelly accepts the settlement that the Federal Gov't and some states wanted, but she wants a minor change to it; and she has decided the case which was pursued by the other states as well, mostly ordering Microsoft to refrain from certain behaviors with regard to the user-visible desktop. Overall: a massive win for Microsoft, who can restrict the release of its APIs to major commercial companies only.

Better soup. Am I right?
michael, given your well known hatred of microsoft, anything you write about this judgement has no value whatsover. if you have anything to say, please post a comment like the rest of us, and face the moderation wrath.
thanks.
How about you only post the results of this on http://brak.slashdot.org/
That would be a good stress test!
I only look human.

Your modem is crap. It works fine for me.
How does it feel to be the latest member on my Foe's list?
But I like lolipops and camp songs.
How many mod points will he waste this time?
How long will the other editors turn the other cheek?
Seriously someone stand up and explain to us why Michael gets away with these mod down powertrips? How about you Timothy? You seem to be the one really stand up guy around here, hell you even admit when you foul up.
Notice I am not posting anonymously because I want an answer it is worth my karma which Michael has burned off plenty of times in the past to find out why no one does anything about this.
--- I do not moderate.
Oh, that's nothing.
Lawyers have been doing this for years.

and what about censorware?? have we forgot already how michael fucked over Seth and Jaime?
you're a hypocrite fascist, michael.. and the fact that you live in my borough, makes it worse..
Really smart posting as Anonymous Coward when anyone can click on "Freaks" on my profile and see your name.
Are you kraf (450958) or sfraggle (212671)?
to deliver a few hundred characters of ASCII. By delivering these judgments (and there are gazillions of those in the site) in some more sensible (and at the same time more user friendly) format they could probably order everyone a free pizza instead for spending it on bandwith. It's just incredibly stupid to download stuff in more than *20 excess size and to launch a and need an external program to view the content. Hey, but it's official it got to be PDF!
thanks, Michael, but you might want to let others spray your golden praise.
Mouahahahaha.... the most hilarious forst pist on /.
Ever!
Your right, after all we don't want to take any time away from the /. editors that they could be using to spell check/grammar check/dup check stories.
Yes, but I'm finding some of the franchises sorely lacking in fresh vegetables. Subway should exercise more quality control to ensure their brand name really is synonymous with freshness.

You moron...
MOD PARENT UP!!!!!!
this is not offtopic!
hahahahahah! You did it again! HOW  DO  YUO  LIEK  THEM  APPELS?!  GRABOULOUS! 
Try doing a grammar check on the first word of your post.
Oops, wrong link. Try this one.
Note to the naive: don't click. Ever. I warned you.
Is that "while" as in "wile away the hours", or "whine", as in "Why yes, I'll have some cheese with that whine."
Trust me, I know what the whine of little girls sounds like:
That's more like it.
Glad to be of service!
Thanks, I got Karma to burn.
This is not OFFTOPIC. It is directly related to it's parent: Here.
Which is at +5. I got 3 mods in the same minute. All -1, Offtopic. You want to tell me how that works?
If my post was offtopic, take your fanboy above down to -1 too, because it's just as offtopic as his.
Dacels Jewelers can't be trusted.
I 100% agree with you. Since Subway is such a large franchise, they can't always assure that each store has the freshest vegetables ever. I will call jared at 716-465-3631 and make sure he personally visits the store, if you can provide me with the address and store number where you encountered unfresh veggies.
SELL MSFT shares now!!!
it's gonna tank!
I wish I could tell you the store number, but this was many moons ago. (I'd love to see Jared let loose on these people who tarnish the Subway name.) The franchise I visited on Wednesday was fine Even though it was located within a convenience store, it wasn't of lower quality.
Hey I can do that too +1

redundant but oh well
If all this should have a reason, we would be the last to know.
that's all.

Since when is stating the obvious is interesting. Anyone at this point who is not awaire it is a civil case and nobody is going to jail, should crawl out from under the rock they live in, or away from that computer in that dark room. Come out the sunshine is good for you. As far as anyone who would mode this post up should have their head checked. Interesting, as if. Karma is bullshit.
Hate to sound like a troll, but I think everybody is blowing this whole thing way out of proportion. Every once in a while somebody needs to remind slashdot that Linux makes for a marginally useful general purpose operating system. Microsoft dominates the market because their products are better, plain and simple (unless you define better as "can run on a 386 with 4mb of RAM").
:) and then put my money into the one that I like the best. Microsoft doesn't always win, but Linux-based products NEVER seem to win. Make a better product, and my money and support is yours. Until then, it seems like spilt milk to me.
I couldn't care less about what marketting practices Microsoft uses; as far as I am concerned, let it be survival of the fittest.
Windows 98 sucked, I will grant you that, but Windows 2000/XP are fantastic operating systems. All of the Microsoft Office products do everything I could possibly want to do and then some. And above all, I consider the price of it all quite reasonable.
I have tried Linux and Star Office, etc, and quite frankly they suck compared to Microsoft products. They always lag behind in features, ease of use, and compatibility. I know it's not a popular opinion here at Slashdot, but until you give people like me a compelling reason to change, why should I? I am getting more than I need already from Microsoft for a price I consider reasonable.
I am not a blind follower of Microsoft. For the few products I actually use day to day, I generally try several different options (warez
Michael is a total fucktard; the simple fact that your post is pointing this out (which is very clearly related to this article) does not deserve a mod-down.
