Talks on Between Microsoft and U.S. nytimes.com

Don't hold your breath though. I got a feeling it's all one of Bill's mind games. Make Joel Klein lose a lot of sleep over the weekend, hope for him to crack from exhaustion.

The talks will continue over the weekend, but people involved in the negotiations have said that reaching a settlement will be difficult given the differences among the three groups negotiating -- the federal government, Microsoft and representatives of 20 state attorneys general.

Also from yesterday's NYT:

Ever a Pragmatist, Microsoft Compromises nytimes.com

"Microsoft is extremely tough-minded and willing to act on the edge of brinkmanship, but pragmatic at its core," said David Yoffie, a Harvard Business School professor.

Clearly, Bill Gates, the Microsoft chairman, and his lieutenants have decided that some of the concessions the government is seeking can be made without posing a real threat to the company's remarkably lucrative business.


Like the Active Channel bar thing, which wasn't working anyway.

Cheers, Dan.
