Take the Microsoft Trial ... Please

"Just when you think you've gotten out, they pull you back in!"
"It isn't over till it's over."
"I'm not going to take it anymore!"
These were just a few of the phrases that came to mind when I heard that Massachusetts Attorney General Tom Reilly is going to appeal the ruling in the ongoing Microsoft soap opera. Now, just to make things a bit more dramatic, Darrell McGraw -- the attorney general of West Virginia -- is reconsidering accepting the decision because he hates to see "Reilly twisting in the wind" and really isn't comfortable with the agreement. I just can't tolerate any more episodes in this nauseating soap opera. Please, enough already!
Just when we thought that this thing was settled and Microsoft and other companies could play in the same sandbox, the states are refusing to settle. Hey, guys, let it rest! The election's over. You've already won (or lost)! It's time to use your states' money to shore up sagging budgets, pay state employees and pump funds back into school systems.
