Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer attempted to build bridges with governments and industry rivals on Tuesday when he said the software giant aspired to become a responsible industry leader.
"I say to our people we want to be a trustworthy Microsoft in a world of trustworthy computing," Ballmer said in a speech at the official opening of the CeBIT technology trade show in the German city of Hanover.
Microsoft reached a settlement with the U.S. Justice Department in November after an appeals court in June upheld a lower court finding that Microsoft had used illegal tactics to maintain its Windows monopoly.
