... for them what care:
the microsoft antitrust settlement is the object of at least one
online petition. the one mentioned later, takes exception to it.
it seems that microsoft will pay $1,000,000,000 in damages. this
targeted at underpriviledged K-12 environments. on the surface, this
sounds good, but digging a little deeper, reveals a microsoftesq palour.
microsoft maintains 'control' of how the money spent ...

Feeling proactive?
Here's something for the fun holiday pastimes file. If you're feeling
proactive take a peek at some of the anti-Microsoft settlement petitions
that are swirling around the Internet, one of which is this grassroots
effort ( http://stephenadler.org/petition ).
Why should you bother? Well, as one reader observes, there's this little
legacy of Richard Nixon's administration called the Tunney Act of 1974.
It's designed to open up antitrust cases for public comment on the basis
of determining whether the corporation and the Justice Department's
proposed settlement is in the public interest. We're now inside the
60-day comment period that started on Nov. 28.
So, do you agree with the settlement? Join in the holiday fun and send an
e-mail to microsoft.atr@usdoj, and send a copy to
