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.

    Of course he called the cops the next day. Do you really expect him to let the cops find out he was drunk at the time of the accident? He had to sober up to protect his family.

    Yep, he was drunk and committed vehicular homicide and the leftist morons of The People's Republic of Massachusetts keep on re-electing him over and over.

    is this someone on slashdot defending Microsoft AND getting modded up?

    You know, you might want to consider the possibility that Microsoft might have actually broken the rules the judge handed them and that Mass. trying to get those rules enforced.
