Massachusetts v. Microsoft



Anyone catch this in today's Boston Globe?

State to move to open-standard systems
--------------------------------------
Massachusetts, the lone holdout still suing Microsoft Corp. for antitrust
violations, will become the first state to adopt a broad-based strategy of
moving its computer systems toward open-standard software, including Linux,
the rival operating system to Microsoft's Windows. State Administration and
Finance Secretary Eric Kriss said the decision, adopted at a meeting of state
information officers, was made on technical grounds and had nothing to do with
Attorney General Thomas Reilly's pursuit of Microsoft. (AP)
