Sun plans to continue Microsoft pursuit | |
|
||
| Time: 01:43 EST/06:43 GMT | News Source: ZDNet Australia | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Sun Microsystems said it would continue to pursue Microsoft with its billion-dollar lawsuit and urged state attorneys general to appeal their antitrust case despite a legal setback. A federal judge on Friday endorsed an antitrust settlement between Microsoft and the US Department of Justice, dismissing the protests and proposals of nine states that sought stricter terms against the software maker. | ||

…and how much is this costing the American tax payer this time Sun?
I’m not working 40+ hours a week for Sun to use my tax dollars to get rid of their rival? Sun is clearly abusing the system… |

RE Sun: No surprise there.
don, do you live in a non settling state? If not, your tax dollars aren't going anywhere with this case. RE the case in general: I hope that some people do realize that the case itself shows the effectiveness of the laws of the United States. The stated purpose of the case is to protect the economy of the United States. Whether I agree with biased fools like Judge Jackson or seemingly unbiased folks like Judge Kolar Kotelly, I still think the legal system we have in this country is a good one. If Sun feels it has been wronged by Microsoft, it has every right, indeed a duty, to sue Microsoft. It is very American to have an opinion and express it. It is very unAmerican to want to deny rights to a United States entity. In like manner when Microsoft feels it has been wronged (the Lindws.com case is a good example), it has the right and duty to sue. Perhaps most important, if we as citizens are not satisfied with the performance of our elected representatives, we have a right and a duty to voice our opinions to them. We have a duty to vote on specific issues and on represenatives who represent our beliefs and values. |

BobSmith - My God! That's not a Republican attitude, what's wrong with you? :)
Definately agree with your sentiments. Also for what it's worth, I live in Minnesota and while I disagree with our Attorney General's stance against Microsoft I'm still planning on voting for him in tomorrow's election, primarily because of the way he handled our Medica/Allina scandal. |

| FinancialWiz - Agreed. The limitation on exclusivety agreements and such is a huge impact as that's where they can really throw their weight around. I think the ABMers realize that giving OEMs the option to install other software or OS's on the machines won't make a difference because users don't want that other software or OS's, and that's what irks them. They wanted that aspect forced down Microsoft's throat. Although they never could explain why we should give Sun a leg up with Java, but not other options. |

rhordjr, it isn't so bad to agree with me.
sodablue, for the 100th time, I'm NOT a Republican! |

BobSmith - "sodablue, for the 100th time, I'm NOT a Republican! "
That's why the smiley was there. :) I should be more careful with throwing personal insults around, even when in jest. |

I would find it very difficult to say "I'm proud to be a Democrat/Republican". Both parties are far too slimy for me.
blue, that was a joke? I've been really sick today, so somethings are lost on me. |
