Man, there is some *good* readin' in these feedback letters!!

And I am also happy to note that the www.usdoj.gov (http://www.usdoj.gov) web site is *not* running MS/IIS. (http://smile.gif) They "appear" to alternate between Apache and Netscape-Enterprise/4.0 on Solaris and have been for at least the last year and a half.

I read a majority of those letters, only one support the so called "remedy" as proposed. Most of them appeared to get their information from www.fuckmicrosoft.com (http://www.fuckmicrosoft.com) as they expressed a lot of issues that we've been talking about here. Now if only the courts will listen will it be a brighter future.
I get the feeling though, if they do what they appear to have done the first time around. Is draft a new remedy and then go to Microsoft and say "Does this look ok to you?". And Microsoft will of course reply "Hell no, go back and try again!". <sigh> I don't understand why Microsoft has *anything* to do with the acceptance of a remedy, after all, they were the ones found "guilty".

The period of public comment closed one month ago, with 15,000 of the 30,000 respondents arguing against the settlement. Overall, the comments opposed the proposed deal by a 2-to-1 margin.
I wonder how many of it's employees Microsoft had to pay to get even that many votes . . . ?
