For anyone not aware of it,  U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly
has rendered her decision in the micro$oft-USDOJ  court case, and it is
abysmal.   

"WASHINGTON (AP) - The long-running battle between Microsoft Corp. and the
Justice Department appeared to reach finality Friday as a federal judge
approved their antitrust settlement, rejecting harsher penalties sought by
nine states.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said she was "satisfied that
the parties have reached a settlement which comports with the public
interest."

But she strongly warned Microsoft that it must faithfully comply with the
deal, saying she would be watching its executives closely. Microsoft "has
a tendency to minimize the effects of its illegal conduct," Kollar-Kotelly
wrote."

Perhaps she'll be watching them closely while she's having cocktails with
them at the country club with the rest of the "public interest"!

Please don't send comments to me.  Send them to the administration in
Washingtom DC that was paid for this and to this Judge that is doing their
work for them.   

Send to: microsoft.atratusdoj.gov

And send Mr. Bush a message letting him know how much you appreciate all
his hard work in getting this resolved to bill gates' satisfaction.
