Subject: Microsoft Settlement

To: District Court Judge, US vs. Microsoft 
In the matter of the proposed settlement of the Microsoft antitrust case, I, as an American, and as an Information Technology professional, urge you to waive any and all penalties against the Microsoft Corporation.

All of the evidence to date indicates that the case against Microsoft is unjustified. From my experience using the products of both Microsoft and their competitors, I can state that Microsoft has not competed unfairly, and has in fact created markets which have enabled countless other enterprises to succeed.

And from my personal perspective, it is clear that Microsoft has been only a benefactor to millions of business professionals and home users, more so than any other single American technology organization.

I hope when you examine the facts in this case, you will agree the Microsoft deserves praise, not punishment, for their success.

Respectfully,

Robert C. Nasir, MCSE
