Separately, State and Federal Officals Weigh Options on Microsoft nytimes.com
The article of the day from the NYT, not that interesting, it implies, as has come up elsewhere, that the states are on the whole somewhat more hawkish than DoJ on remedies.
Sometime in the next two or three months, a diverse alliance of state and federal officials -- some elected, some appointed, some Democrats, some Republicans -- must reach agreement on one of the thorniest public policy issues of the day: What to do with Microsoft Corp. if, as expected, a federal judge finds the company guilty of violating the nation's antitrust laws.
Don't as me, although I'm sure Reggie has the correct answer, he being more objective than most. Microsoft's done nothing wrong! Reggie knows antitrust, and all the other legal commentary on the case is out to lunch, unless it's Neukom or Rick Rule talking. Sheesh, even Neukom seems to be admitting to some problem, with the "monopoly maintenance case" comment.
Cheers, Dan. |
