All, "Microsoft may face new antitrust case-WSJ" Reuters Story - January 23, 1998 03:34 NEW YORK, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Justice Department investigators are building a new antitrust case against Microsoft Corp that could affect its planned introduction of Windows 98, the Wall Street Journal said Friday. Citing lawyers and officials familiar with these efforts, the newspaper reported in its electronic edition that the new case could reach far beyond the issue that the company just settled. On Thursday, the software giant agreed to separate its World Wide Web browser software from its Windows 95 operating system to avoid being found in contempt of court. The new case, if it goes forward, would attack the heart of Microsoft's strategy of using Windows to break into new markets, the newspaper said. One approach being considered is that the Justice Department demand that Microsoft provide a version of Windows 98 without Internet access to computer makers who want it, the newspaper said. Microsoft plans to introduce Windows 98 later this year. In addition, the newspaper said the government is reviewing Microsoft's contracts with Internet service providers.
