AOL, Netscape -3: Microsoft Examines Instant Messenger Deal 10/29/98 Dow Jones News Service (Copyright (c) 1998, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) Microsoft attorney Warden in courtroom testimony also focused on an America Online agreement with Netscape to claim that exclusive contracts are common in the technology industry. Government attorneys in their antitrust lawsuit have accused Microsoft of using exclusive browser-distribution contracts to protect its Windows monopoly.
