Microsoft Asks DOJ to Define "The Other Product" (from www5.zdnet.com , Anchordesk news line) Microsoft Asks DOJ to Define "The Other Product" Contending it can't comply with court orders without a clear understanding of how Justice attorneys are defining products, Microsoft filed papers Friday asking for a definition of terms. The software giant, battling the government officials over integration of Internet Explorer with Windows 95, wants the DOJ to explain what it means by "the other product" it alleges Microsoft is illegally tying to Windows 95. Our take: Microsoft is finally doing what it should have done in the first place by asking the court/DOJ what it really wants. Could have saved us Microsoft's boorish "if I don't get things my way I'll take all of my toys out of the sandbox" My take: Just another line, a little late in the game. I'm sure Microsoft would be happy to negotiate new language, with Bill watching closely to veto anything meaningful that might slip in. The Special Master will no doubt have some ideas about what the Judge should ask for, but he's biased, as are all mere mortals. I'd say Microsoft could start the ball rolling by explaining those 228 files and how "IE integration" differs from "Office integration", but that's just me. Cheers, Dan.
