In fact, I did submit comments to the Department of Justice, along with
thousands of others (7,500 for, 15,000 against), regarding the upcoming
Microsoft settlement. The comment period ended 28 January. Mine are
available for viewing at http://integralogic.com/settle/ if anyone would
like to peruse them.
The government is supposed to publish these comments in the Federal
Register, although due to the cost it may instead put them on CD-ROM.
