States, DOJ to meet on Microsoft news.com

The domestic enforcement brigade of the legal division of the nefarious international ilk conspiracy doesn't bat an eye at a small setback or two.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, one scheduled participant characterized the meeting as an exploratory session in which parties would "try to see if there is common ground among the states and the DOJ in order to move forward" on potential joint efforts against Microsoft.

"There is such a large set of anticompetitive behaviors that Microsoft is being charged with that people are naturally going to disagree about what is the worst," this source said. Referring to a combined action a number of states have taken against cigarette companies, this source added: "It's not like tobacco, where the egregious behavior was singular and clear. Here there's a wide range of issues."

All of them under the broad title of standard Microsoft business practice, of course.

In addition to state and federal investigators, the Redmond, Washington-based company is defending itself against a private antitrust suit filed by Caldera and is facing scrutiny from the Senate Judiciary Committee and arms of the European Commission and the Japanese government.

And that's just the legal division. Couldn't happen to a nicer company, of course.

Cheers, Dan.
