U.S. Faults Microsoft Licensing Compliance

Posted by michael on from the foot-dragging dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In a written report card on how well Microsoft is complying with its 2001 antitrust deal with state and federal prosecutors, Justice Department lawyers said they might need the court to force Microsoft to act more quickly." The DOJ's court filing is online if you want to wade through it.

    Brothers and sisters, consider these facts :

    • Microsoft will be forced to comply to a DOJ judgment!
    • SCO is suing IBM and actually WITHDREW AIX LICENSE!!
    • Europe is going to accept GMOs!!!
    • And, in Peoria, Ill., John Smith, 20-years-old Slashdot poster and troll extraordinaire, actually got LAID!!!!


    The time has come, repent all you sinners, for the shiny saucers of the sex goddess are coming to deliver us!

    This, as everybody knows, has been predicted in the Holy Scriptures of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs! Convert before it is too late, heathens! ;-)

    Microsoft is mostly following through with its settlement with the federal government.

    So I guess that means Microsoft won't mind if I MOSTLY comply with thier EULA for Windows XP.
