Apple Criticizes Microsoft Proposal | |

Apple Computer on Tuesday joined a chorus of critics attacking a proposed settlement that would let Microsoft give schools up to $1 billion in free software, training and services. Lawyers representing the Redmond, Wash.-based company and the consolidated private antitrust cases defended the agreement before U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz during a daylong hearing at the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland in Baltimore. If Motz approves the deal, Microsoft would set up a foundation through which it would give away software over a five-year period, including one million Windows licenses for refurbished computers. The donations would go to public elementary and secondary schools at which 70 percent of students are eligible for federal meal assistance, or approximately 14 percent of the nation's schools, according to Microsoft. But Apple, which has a big stake in the education market, criticized the settlement as anticompetitive. | ||

Apple has a right to complain. This settlement is no settlement at all. If anything, it's a court-approved free-ride into the one area Microsoft has never been able to dominate. Education...
I will say this. It was one heck of a nice try by Slick-Billy! TL |
