C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said Tuesday that the software giant was "dedicated from the top down" to meeting settlement guidelines from a federal antitrust ruling against the company. Ballmer's speech marked the first public remarks from a company executive about the antitrust case and its impact on the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant. The CEO spoke at an event held at the Brookings Institute here. Ballmer described the settlement as "a fundamental part of what's different" at Microsoft. The antitrust rulings put "new obligations, responsibilities" on the company, he said.
