Microsoft Corp. A $31.5 million settlement has been granted preliminary approval
in the class action lawsuit filed on behalf of consumers and businesses in New
Mexico who purchased Microsoft operating system and application software between
December 1995 and December 2002. The antitrust suit alleged that the company had
overcharged consumers for software. (Aug-03-04) [REUTERS]

Not for you my friend, and nobody else has asked.  In any event, news of court
actions involving M$ software is certainly arguably on topic here, or in any
forum dealing with M$ software.  Usenet being what it is, you are wasting your
breath anyway.  One wonders why M$ agrees to settling actions like this if they
can do no wrong as you would suggest.  You have suggested that nobody can win a
case against M$ since they have an effectively unlimited war chest.  Yet they
routinely settle such cases for millions of dollars.
