Microsoft's proposed settlement rejected by federal Judge

Interesting - this restored my faith in judicial system here in the US. It seems we have at least one judge that is sharp enough to realize that the Microsoft offer of $1 billion in software for public schools would actually increase their monopoly.

Yep. That piece of news brought a breath of relief.

The whole thing might just be the material that feeds cynical attitudes about the world, but at the very least, a judge recognizes and refuses to condone what is seen as a complete bribe coated in what looks like shallow charity.
