MS and DOJ Won't Oppose States' Complaint
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Microsoft and the US Department of Justice (DOJ) agreed late Friday that they won't oppose the nine nonsettling states' and the District of Columbia's bid to introduce an extra complaint in Microsoft's antitrust case. The nonsettling states believe that Microsoft is abusing its proposed DOJ settlement by issuing new Windows licenses that could potentially let the company steal PC makers' intellectual property. Because the public-comment period has already ended for the Microsoft settlement, the states need the court's permission to introduce this new complaint.
