A Harsh Court Ruling Could Open New Antitrust Front Against Microsoft By JOHN R. WILKE Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL WASHINGTON -- A federal judge found that Microsoft Corp. engaged in "wanton, reckless" and deceptive business practices against a Connecticut software maker, in a harsh ruling reminiscent of the court's finding against Microsoft in the government's antitrust suit. U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in Bridgeport, Conn., ordered Microsoft to pay punitive damages of $1 million to Bristol Technology Inc., in the highest award ever imposed under the state's fair-trade statute.
