Antitrust Settlement: No Progress Yet
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Today marks the day that Microsoft and the DOJ will need to have a mediator assigned should they be unable to reach a settlement in Microsoft's years-old antitrust case. And since the chance of a settlement is hovering between zero and some negative number, I think we can expect a mediator announcement later today. Mediation in early 2000 didn't exactly reap any rewards either, however, so it's likely that Microsoft will eventually find itself at the mercy of the court. And I don't think the word mercy is going to be part of the remedy decision at that point.
