DOJ: Microsoft violated
consent decree

BULLETIN The Justice Department today charged
that Microsoft has violated terms of a 1995 consent
decree governing its licensing practices.

At a press conference, Attorney General Janet
Reno and Joel Klein, head of the Justice
Department's antitrust unit, alleged that Microsoft
requires PC manufacturers to license its Internet
Explorer browser in order to get a license for its
Windows 95 operating system.

The department is requiring Microsoft to stop that
practice and notify consumers who use Windows
95 on their computers that they can use any
compatible browser. They are also asking
Microsoft to come up with an easy way to remove
the IE icon from users' desktops if they so choose.
