U.S. may add new charges to Microsoft antitrust case

Continuing investigation could pick up states' allegations on
office-suite pricing - THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

WASHINGTON May 26 - Federal investigators are
continuing to probe Microsoft Corp.'s business
practices and could add new charges to the
landmark antitrust lawsuit they filed last week.The
suit, alleging a pattern of predatory conduct by
Microsoft in its efforts to win the
Internet-software market, will go to trial Sept. 8,
U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson said
Friday in the first hearing on the case.

Two other strategic Microsoft products - a
high-powered version of Windows for businesses known as
Windows NT, and a compact version for consumer products
called Windows CE - are also said to be under review.
Both products seek to extend Microsoft's strong position on
the desktop to new markets. Windows CE, for example, is
the key to its effort to enter the booming market for
hand-held computers now dominated by 3Com Corp.'s
PalmPilot line of products, which doesn't use Windows.
