Someone posted an audio bit here, last eve--I listened to it. They are offering to open at least part of the source code, here's news from this a.m.: It was unclear what was fully contained within the proposal, which was described as technically complicated. Dow Jones news service, citing anonymous sources, reported that Microsoft agreed to separate its Internet browser software from its dominant Windows operating system. ABC News, also citing an anonymous source, said Microsoft agreed to government oversight of some of its business practices, but not to limits on what features or functions it could add to its dominant Windows software. It also said Microsoft was offering to consider releasing prized blueprints of some of its software code, but insisting it not be required to admit that it had violated antitrust law. Like an unfavorable verdict, such an admission could be used against Microsoft in roughly 115 related private lawsuits that have been filed against the software giant. ______ The news goes on to say that nobody's meeting today--they may meet Sunday or Monday. God, I hope this gets resolved.
