Microsoft Settles Minnesota Antitrust Suit
An anonymous reader writes "According to the Star Tribune: 'The Microsoft antitrust suit in Minnesota was settled out-of-court Monday seven weeks after it began, but before the plaintiffs even finished putting on their case before the jury. Terms of the settlement won't be disclosed until they are finalized and presented to a Hennepin County judge for preliminary approval 'in early summer,' Microsoft said in a statement. The antitrust suit in Hennepin Country District Court sought as much as half a billion dollars from Microsoft for alleged overcharges of more than 1 million Minnesota consumers and businesses who bought Microsoft Windows, Word or Excel software between 1994 and 2001.'"
I wish someone would start doing what you suggest, but to the freaking governments. Or havent you noticed that in recent years, barely any government in the world is really acting in the best interests of the people it perportably represents? Ever wondered if a 'normal' person could get elected to a governmental position in the majority of western nations? Just look at the sums of money involved in getting elected president, they are up there as a good portion of a $Billion. Normal people barely get a look in once every 4 or 5 years.
