States and DoJ Divided On Microsoft Antitrust Success
Rob writes "Computer Business Review is reporting that the US Department of Justice and five States
have declared themselves satisfied with the antitrust enforcement efforts taken against
Microsoft despite a further seven States maintaining they have had 'little or no
discernible impact in the marketplace.' While the US DoJ and five States — New York,
Louisiana, Maryland, Ohio, and Wisconsin (The New York Group) — reported that the final
judgments have succeeded in increasing competition to the benefit of consumers, seven
States making up the California
Group are not convinced."
Whenever I read a story about MS I'd always feel something change within me. It was a sort of nervous tremor, a rush of energy over me. However, it would be gone as quickly as it came. Normally, I don't think too much about it. But after reading this list, I was thrown into a blind fury, consumed by unadulterated rage the likes of which I have never unleashed from my mother's basement. Raising my fist high, I stabbed in the general direction of Redmond with a force of approximately 4.76lb of sheer brutality. The resulting shockwave from my outburst surely disrupted the evil Redmond campus, if but momentarily.
Brothers, we must join together. Let us never forget the list of endless sins that this company has perpetuated. Egregious, dastardly sins that would make their grandmothers cry when they heard them. We must continue to fight this war! Our main offensive shall be the posting of vehement rants on community-driven websites, such as Slashdot. The sheer number of these pointed essays shall bowl over our enemies in no time! This is a battle of numbers: do not feel the need to invoke mighty weapons of logic at every turn! And, also remember, your own stories of woe relating to Microsoft are worth as much, if not more, than logical arguments.
I trust you will not let me down.
Ok, but what's a VCR?
