Microsoft rips into Massachusetts in filing
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Wednesday ripped into Massachusetts, the lone hold-out state in the software giant's antitrust settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, saying the state is pursuing sanctions that would benefit Microsoft competitors, not consumers.
Massachusetts continues to pursue "extreme" antitrust remedies, Microsoft lawyers wrote in a brief filed with the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. In the brief, Microsoft argues that Massachusetts has largely ignored a U.S. District Court's findings and instead repeats its own proposed remedies in a brief it filed in May.
