Microsoft: No politics behind settlement
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Monday filed the first of two legal briefs expected this week to address the pair of simultaneous tracks in its landmark antitrust case. The first track, proceeding under the Tunney Act, will wrap up the company's November settlement with the Justice Department and nine of 18 states. Microsoft's three-page filing summarized all communications between the company and federal government employees. Microsoft's document indicates that all communications took place within the context of settlement discussions. The settlement is partway through a 60-day period of public comment.
