Paper: Bush Win Could Benefit Microsoft

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) could benefit from
the election of George Bush as U.S. president, as the former Texas governor has indicated he
is not in full agreement with the U.S. Justice Department (news - web sites)'s decision to
break up the software giant, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.

``I stand on the side of innovation, not litigation,'' the paper quoted Bush as saying last
spring. Bush is troubled by the court decision to break the company in two, the paper said.

Bush aides have said there is no decision on how to handle the case yet, but the attorney
general-designate, Senator John Ashcroft of Missouri, has not taken a firm stand on the
matter, the paper added.

``The signs are that (the case) isn't the kind of thing (Ashcroft) would be enthusiastic
about,'' the paper quoted a senior Clinton administration official as saying.
