Microsoft Breakup
from the okay,-whatever,-I'll-post-it dept
If you're just reading this here first, then you use Techdirt way too much, and other sites not nearly enough. You scare me. However, for the record, I'll post the story that, not surprisingly, the judge has ruled that Microsoft has to be broken up. Now will come the appeals and talking and yelling and all that stuff, and the fact is that none of this really matters too much right now.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
