I'm not seeing what they actually did wrong in this. Was there some sort of contract where these agencies were required to buy Microsoft products? There isn't any information I saw that said one way or the other. I can't see how they have a case unless there was something in their agreements that required something like this. -- Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness. . .

These cities and counties should be suing the State of California instead of Microsoft. Municipalities and the organizations within them are required to use state-mandated applications for submitting reports, financial accounting, student identification, etc....that are all Windows-based. The State is forcing these applications upon the users, not Microsoft.
