The (Microsoft) Empire Strikes Back!!

[Saltin]

Found this story on the web, I think it's sort of funny.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who decided Utah will remain one of nine states continuing an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft, discovered recently that Microsoft might have grounds to countersue.
After the software giant announced earlier this year that it will audit all l Utah state government computers to determine if they are in compliance with Microsoft's licensing requirements, the attorney general decided to do an internal audit.
Much to their dismay, officials discovered a number of computers that are not licensed. The problem occurred from a 1998 software upgrade, in which licenses apparently were not sought for the new system. Licenses now are being purchased as quickly as possible -- preferably before the Microsoft audit.

go MSFT, go!!! get those greedy state bastards!

 

[Tripleshot]

I'ld bet a dollar to a donut that bastard has pyrated software in his office and home PC's. All the states that are continuing this should fall to the same fate as Utah. These jerk offs are just trying to get their name in the paper andadvance their careers. I have yet to see how a state is going to benifit from suing a private industry company. The tax payer sure as hellisn't going
to get a red cent even if they prevailed.

Further, they probably don't know squat about why they are even suing Microsoft. Let them articulate the reason Microsoft should be sued and let them articulate why THEY should benifit from the outcome.



Clue..........THEY CAN"T!

[yakko]

Now that's where the REAL software piracy problem lies, with big institutions, not small time folk that download Photoshop to play around with.
