Microsoft bullied PC makers, government claims Microsoft Corp. threatened to withhold its Windows 95 operating system from Compaq Computer Corp. and other PC makers unless its Internet Explorer Web client was prominently displayed on the PCs' desktop, according to published reports Thursday. Compaq, Gateway 2000 and Micron Electronics are among the PC makers that told the U.S. Department of Justice how Microsoft refused to let them remove IE or the IE icon from the Windows 95 operating system, a PC Week report added. The claims are included in documents associated with the Justice Department's petition in federal court claiming Microsoft has violated a federal court decree on its business practices. An attorney for Microsoft denied the allegation, saying its position requiring IE to be displayed was only its efforts to enforce existing contracts with PC makers.
