Microsoft, States Argue in Prehearing Filing
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Both sides in the Microsoft antitrust case presented their arguments to Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly last week in anticipation of what will probably be an ugly court battle that's set to begin March 11. The District of Columbia and nine US states that still oppose the Microsoft and Department of Justice (DOJ) proposed settlement say that their goal is to prevent a "Microsoft-controlled world." Microsoft, meanwhile, says that the sweeping restrictions the states seek will harm "software developers, hardware vendors, and consumers."
