Microsoft assailed by GOP Senator The chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee will warn Tuesday he believes Microsoft is trying to dominate the Internet, according to The Wall Street Journal. "Microsoft now has the ability to virtually annihilate any competitive product it wants by bringing it into the next version of Windows," Utah's Sen. Orrin Hatch said. He will preside over hearings to consider the Internet and electronic commerce. A former federal Trade Commission official, Kevin Arquit, is also expected to testify that he agrees Microsoft is positioned for a monopoly position on the 'net, the report said. "If they can control content on the Internet, they can control the information people get, and this is a serious public policy concern," Arquit told the Journal. A spokesman for Microsoft denied the charges, seeing "We don't believe anyone is going to be the gatekeeper of the Internet. There will be hundreds of thousands of people doing content on the Internet and commerce on the Internet," the report added.
