Judge delays Microsoft trial date news.com
The CNet take, more or less a repeat of the ZD article. But, they link the actual opinion from Jackson, at dcd.uscourts.gov . The opinion itself is more readable than I'd have thought. Very interesting, if the context requires it you can sure it will be quoted in the future.
Meanwhile, I'll leave you with the bland conclusion from CNet.
Predictably, both sides in the dispute said they were pleased with the ruling.
"While we're disappointed that the court did not dismiss the entire case, we're very pleased that the court has narrowed the case by dismissing one of the government's claims," said Microsoft spokesman Mark Murray. "We believe that we will be able to show overwhelming consumer benefit from our decision to build Internet features into the Windows operating system."
There is no browser, only "Internet features built into Windows". Windows is open, too.
A Justice spokeswoman countered that government attorneys were "pleased with the court's decision and look forward to the upcoming trial."
From what I've read, I'd have to concur, on both counts. Baseball is boring, anyway.
Cheers, Dan. |
