Microsoft >From Scout Report: http://scout.cs.wisc.edu/ 2002 Federal Register: Public Comments on the United States v. Microsoft Corporation Settlement http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/aces/usvms/msfr.html An often scathing, exhaustive record for those who choose to consult it, the "Federal Register of Public Comments on the United States v. Microsoft Corporation Settlement" warrants even a cursory reading by anyone interested in the landmark case against the world's most powerful corporation. Containing more than 30,000 letters sent by private individuals, groups, organizations, and societies regarding the government's proposed settlement with Microsoft, the archive is a vast and varied one, allowing the public to gauge overall reaction to the case, how it was conducted, and its proposed outcomes. Made available by GPO Access, the letters are readable in either HTML or Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) formats and are cataloged in thirty groups of one thousand letters each, archived in order of the date they were received. The entire archive is browseable by accession number and/or name of author. While not always easy reading, the archive is a unique record of the public's opportunity to sound off on a legal decision literally affecting everyone touched by Microsoft. -- Gabriel Goldberg, Computers and Publishing, Inc.
