Judge Warns Microsoft to Keep Promise | |

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly gave Microsoft a stern warning Friday to keep its promise to abide by antitrust penalties expected later this year. John Shenefield, an expert testifying for the nine states still suing Microsoft, said the states have little expectation that Microsoft will change its ways. "If you have monopoly power and you're making a lot of money doing what you're doing, there's very little incentive to change the way you live," Shenefield said. "Hope springs eternal, but you're dealing with a monopolist." Microsoft's expert, Charles F. "Rick" Rule, said he was "somewhat offended" by Shenefield's statement. "They very much want to be in compliance," Rule said of Microsoft. "I believe that Microsoft is very sincere of that." Kollar-Kotelly said she accepts Microsoft's assurance, but that she will be watching. | ||

So far, MS has done everything it's been ordered to. In fact, it did some stuff after the DOJ settlement was reached, but before it was active. They were pro-active in their abidence.
The States are just out for blood and they have deemed MS evil, regardless of the truth. They are so blinded by their hatred and... more importantly MS-competitor money that they'll say anything and do anything. It's sad, really. Sure, MS fights and fights in the courts, but it's allowed to do that. Should it roll over and let its competitors have their way with it? Of course not. But when the law is handed down, they stick to it. |

| Microsoft keeping its promise is like a Democrat becoming an honest politician. |

I think either one don't keep their promises. Promises are only for the votes in November.
After that the votes are bought with money. As I have always said. America has the best government money can buy:) El |
