           from the sent-to-bed-without-dinner dept.
           JeffMagnus writes: "MSNBC is reporting that the
           tentative settlement between Microsoft and the DoJ
           calls for a five-year consent decree between the
           government and Microsoft governing the company=B9s conduct. A 
three
           person panel of independent experts will be created to review 
the companys'
           future activity." The New York Times appears to be the 
original source for
           the settlement stories; there's also an AP article.

  "Instead of worrying about whether or not the government will stop
   Microsoft from innovating in the future, the head honchos in Redmond
   ought to spend some energy trying to figure out what force has
   prevented them from innovating over the past decade."
