Microsoft Settlement Plan Criticized | |
|
||
| Time: 13:09 EST/18:09 GMT | News Source: Associated Press | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Helen Soule applauds the concept behind Microsoft Corp.'s plan to settle lawsuits from disgruntled consumers by providing computers, software and other high-tech resources to poor schools. ``If structured properly, the settlement could really have far-reaching positive effects on the students of the United States,'' said Soule, who - as director of technology for the state of Mississippi - has spent years working to get computers into Mississippi's most poverty-stricken schools. | ||

The more I read about this, the more infuriating it becomes...

Honestly #8, I don't think you can prove that Microsoft overcharged. Although it would be interesting to see you argue that point.
Oh and before you begin, remember you can't use anything written by Judge Jackson as that's under some question of impartiality. But if Microsoft is really guilty, there should be ample evidence, true? |

"Let's think about priorities here... Perhaps if Microsoft were to spend this money to get these schools new textbooks, materials, and badly needed repairs to the buildings, I'd be more likely to think this is a good idea. "
I would have NO problem with this as it would make them spend real money instead of 'paper' money, and by supplying non-Microsoft materials it would not allow them to strengthen their Monopoly further at the same time. The giving isn't the problem here. It's the what is BEING given that's at issue... TL |

"Why would I learn how to use Apple software when I know that I will MOST LIKEYLY be using MS OS, Linux, Unix and other non-Apple OS when I work? "
You just summed up the effects of a Monopoly in one sentence... YOUR choice was taken away (whether mentally or physically) before you even had a chance to EVALUATE that choice. Good Work! Oh, and BTW, there are still many corporations that are standardized on Macintosh, and they get along just fine within a PC Corporate Marketplace. It's the file and it's contents that matters, not how it gets created. TL |
