Massachusetts Appealing Microsoft Ruling

Posted by michael on from the and-then-there-was-one dept.

linuxwrangler writes "Criticizing the "loophole-filled deal" and saying "We are prepared to go it alone," Massachusetts Attorney General Tom Reilly has announced that Massachusetts is appealing the Microsoft ruling. Seven other states have dropped out and are negotiating enforcement and attorney fees. West Virginia is still undecided on an appeal."

    Lets say that Massachusetts ends up getting everything that Open Source advocates, Linux users, etc want in terms of penalties against Microsoft

    Here we have a state which proclaims to do whatever it takes to make life better for us, customers, but on the other hand, the REAL person who wants to do whatever it takes to make it better for customers, Ralph Nader, only gets a handfull of votes.

    Now, if the people in massachusetts are really concerned about their rights as a customer, next time, vote Ralph Nader, and don't vote for ego-tripping wannabee's who now are running the appeal.
