Justice Department is said to be
unimpressed with Microsoft offer

MSNBC.com's Brock Meeks discusses the
negotiations with NBC's John Siegenthaler.


U.S. lawyers said to see
no need to resume talks
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
WASHINGTON, March 25 ? Skeptical government
lawyers consider an 11th-hour offer from the
Microsoft Corp. to settle its antitrust trial so
inadequate in important areas that there were no
immediate plans to resume negotiations in
Chicago, people close to the case said Saturday.

Why does everyone keep posting these mindless press releases. Do you notice any contradictions from your article?

"The US Government is reported to have
rejected a last-minute settlement in its
anti-trust case against software giant
Microsoft.
...
The Justice Department
and Microsoft have
declined to comment.
...
Both sides have reasons
to push for a
settlement instead of
waiting for a ruling by
Judge Jackson."

So the DOJ has rejected a settlement, yet both sides decline to comment, yet we know that both sides have flown to Chicago and both sides have reasons to settle. We already know that Jackson dislikes MSFT. In short; you, me, everyone on the thread knows as much about the situation as any wistful gotta say something for my byline drop dead time financial reporter.

Don't become a victim of of MDPS

The articles is saying: "Late last year, the
judge found that
Microsoft used
monopoly power to
harm consumers, competitors and other
companies."

- but Given Jackson's ruling that no harm has yet come to consumers, then it doesn't even make sense to rule against MSFT, let alone have brought the case this far

- Can't wait for Nov '2000 to vote all those stinkin, lousy Democrats out of office.
