The suit also produced some amusing minutiae."
Legal humor. I didn' think it could get any worse than "in Soviet Russia...", but I guess it has.
I tried reading one of the "funny" rulings.. but after about a paragraph i fell asleep.

Our company has a close partnership with Microsoft and the main concern that our executive board has, is that Microsoft does not appear to take privacy concerns too seriously. We are a manufacturer of electronic devices and thereby are always under intense scrutiny by the FCC and the Homeland Security Office.
We have proposed a twenty-page plan to Microsoft in which we describe that education is the key. Get your client's permission before you take certain liberties. Their response has been positive and we look forward in adding more value in our products with this direction.
Which is nice.
No wonder there aren't any posts on this article, everyone has fallen asleep reading the long-winded crap that was linked. I saved myself with a quick click on the back button.
