Microsoft wants settlement forced upon rebel states

[Warren Togami]

"That's what NWFusion.com is reporting, saying Microsoft has proposed a
set of remedies that could potentially bring its antitrust case to a
close on terms similar to those agreed to in a settlement last month
with the Department of Justice and nine states. The Register puts it
this way: "The beast of Redmond rants at rebel states."

"Wired: "U.S. Senators were set to hear all about the Justice

This one is particularly bad.  No more Senate hearing and Leahy brief
filed with the Judge before the January 26th Tunney Act comment period
deadline.
