Massachusetts Probing Microsoft Settlement Gripes

tassii writes "In this article from Reuters, Massachusetts' DA's office told the judge in the Microsoft Anti-trust trial that it was looking into Microsoft settlement complaints. Among complaints being examined by Massachusetts was whether Microsoft had violated portions of the settlement prohibiting pacts requiring exclusive support of Microsoft software. Massachusetts was also examining whether the company had properly offered communications protocols allowing non-Microsoft software to work well with Windows." An Associated Press article covers the same story; the non-Microsoft software mentioned in both stories is Linux, but it's not clear which company's promotion of Linux is drawing the attention.

Err, sorry, I think you're looking for the article titled "Judge Rules Against Microsoft: Massachusetts Shows Microsoft Breached Terms of DOJ Settlement". You can find it about 2-3 years in the future in one of the possible universes that will arise from the universe we find ourselves in today.

I'm guessing those people who modded you up are also from said future. Today's moderators, who should have modded you "-1: Redundant, Overrated, Off-topic, Yet Another Freakin MS Rant", have clearly travelled back in time to mod up other off-topic posts. Anyone who bitched about SCO three years ago can expect a sharp hike in their karma any minute now.
