Mexico who purchased Microsoft operating system and application software between

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.
