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."

    That it's Massachusetts still going after them.

    Honestly, though I have no great love for Microsoft (having suffered through WinMe, and being raised on Macs and IBM DOS will do that to ya)- I'm glad the government is at least keeping it's nose out of something in a day where it wants it's nose in everything.



    I mean, let's face it, for even your intelligent computer user, Linux is no solution. I went through the process of partitioning, and installing Red Hat and only came out dissapointed. I could never get a PPP protocol to sign me onto the internet, and even though the computer didn't crash, I couldn't use my CD-ROM either. Until Linux is as intuitive as Windows (or even better, Mac's OS X) it's doomed to be for businesses and hobbyists.
