Dear Microsoft Settlement:
The Microsoft trial squandered taxpayers' dollars, was a
nuisance to consumers, and a serious deterrent to investors in the
high-tech industry. It is high time for this trial, and the wasteful
spending accompanying it, to be over. Consumers will indeed see
competition in the marketplace, rather than the courtroom. And the
investors who propel our economy can finally breathe a sigh of
relief.
Upwards of 60% of Americans thought the federal government
should not have broken up Microsoft. If the case is finally over,
companies like Microsoft can get back into the business of
innovating and creating better products for consumers, and not
wasting valuable resources on litigation. Competition means creating
better goods and offering superior services to consumers. With
government out of the business of stifling progress and tying the
hands of corporations, consumers--rather than bureaucrats and
judges--will once again pick the winners and losers on Wall Street.
With the reins off the high-tech industry, more entrepreneurs will
be encouraged to create new and competitive products and
technologies. Thank you for this opportunity to share my views.
Sincerely,
Edward Kirk Middleton

Subject: Dept of Justice on Microsoft Litigation
It is about time that we finally settle this unfair lawsuit
against Microsoft filed by rival companies of Microsoft. Most of
these supposedly concerned companies are actually interested only in
getting more money for themselves and do not necessarily have the
public welfare in mind. Given the same position that Microsoft had
in the computer field who knows what they would have done. ``He who
is without sin let him cast the first stone.'' Let us settle this
case finally and allow good, viable companies like Microsoft to go
on with their projects. Let us stop the government from spending too
much money in useless litigation and finalize this once and for all.
Most companies especially, technology companies are already
suffering from this great economic slowdown and adding to this is
such unsure and wastefull litigation that has dragged on for so
long. Lethis case be settled now. Microsoft is agreeing to the
settlement conditions, what more do these companies want?

Dear Microsoft Settlement:
The Microsoft trial squandered taxpayers' dollars, was a
nuisance to consumers, and a serious deterrent to investors in the
high-tech industry. It is high time for this trial, and the wasteful
spending accompanying it, to be over. Consumers will indeed see
competition in the marketplace, rather than the courtroom. And the
investors who propel our economy can finally breathe a sigh of
relief.
Upwards of 60% of Americans thought the federal government
should not have broken up Microsoft. If the case is finally over,
companies like Microsoft can get back into the business of
innovating and creating better products for consumers, and not
wasting valuable resources on litigation. Competition means creating
better goods and offering superior services to consumers. With
government out of the business of stifling progress and tying the
hands of corporations, consumers--rather than bureaucrats and
judges--will once again pick the winners and losers on Wall Street.
With the reins off the high-tech industry, more entrepreneurs will
be encouraged to create new and competitive products and
technologies. Thank you for this opportunity to share my views.

software, people would be lining up to use it and BUY it. However,
that is not the case, therefore the providers of inferior products
have chosen to spend their money on attorneys rather that research

Dear Microsoft Settlement:
The Microsoft trial squandered taxpayers' dollars, was a
nuisance to consumers, and a serious deterrent to investors in the
high-tech industry. It is high time for this trial, and the wasteful
spending accompanying it, to be over. Consumers will indeed see
competition in the marketplace, rather than the courtroom. And the
investors who propel our economy can finally breathe a sigh of
relief.
Upwards of 60% of Americans thought the federal government
should not have broken up Microsoft. If the case is finally over,
companies like Microsoft can get back into

[[Page 25578]]

the business of innovating and creating better products for
consumers, and not wasting valuable resources on litigation.
Competition means creating better goods and offering superior
services to consumers. With government out of the business of
stifling progress and tying the hands of corporations, consumers--
rather than bureaucrats and judges--will once again pick the winners
and losers on Wall Street. With the reins off the high-tech
industry, more entrepreneurs will be encouraged to create new and
competitive products and technologies.
Thank you for this opportunity to share my views.

Dear Microsoft Settlement:
It's time to let Microsoft get back to the business of producing
good products and creating jobs for the American workers. The
Microsoft trial squandered taxpayers' dollars and was a serious
deterrent to investors in the high-tech industry. Consumers should
see competition in the marketplace, rather than the courtroom. With
the economy the way it is now, we should be encouraging businesses,
not slapping them down! Most Americans thought the federal
government should not have broken up Microsoft. If the case is
finally over, companies like Microsoft can get back into the
business of innovating and creating better products for consumers,
instead of wasting valuable resources on litigation.
