For no particular reason I glanced at www.kstp.com, and one of the headlines for today was about the nine states holding out on the M$ settlement. One of the things that they are pushing for is a restriction that make M$ have to supply apps for other OS's. They specifically mentioned that M$ threatened to cease making Office or Word for Apple (Mac), and that that sort of thing would be forbidden. The thought occurred to me that this would be the time to write to Mike Hatch (and the other boys/girls) at the MN AG's orifice and let them know that not only should M$ have to provide apps for Apple, but that they should be forced to make a version for Linux. Not only is it satisfyingly ironic and I'd love to see Gates and Ballmer's apoplectic gasket-blowing reaction, but it's a fair and valid legal point.
