Business; Financial Desk Heard on the Beat Managers for Microsoft KAREN KAPLAN 05/25/98 Los Angeles Times Home Edition Page D-3 Copyright 1998 / The Times Mirror Company In its battle with the Justice Department, Microsoft Corp. may not be able to depend on its own industry group. The Software Publishers Assn. is backing the federal trustbusters--but Bill Gates does have the support of the American Management Assn.

Only 26% said the software giant should be subject to regulation to prevent the kind of market dominance that can be unhealthy for the economy. The survey also found that 62% of managers think Microsoft should be able to add Internet browsing features to its operating system software, while 29% said the company should have to sell Internet Explorer and Windows 98 separately.
