Justice Department Details Allegations Against Microsoft

From The Wall Street Journal
WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department detailed new allegations against
Microsoft Corp. in a legal brief last night responding to Microsoft's
request that the case be dismissed.
The filing provides new details on previously reported allegations
that Microsoft tried illegally to carve up segments of the software
industry with Apple Computer Inc. and Intel Corp., people close to the
case said. But the brief won't be released until today, they said.
The filing in U.S. District Court here last night urged a judge not
to dismiss the case, as Microsoft requested in July. It offered
supporting evidence that government investigators say they have found
since the landmark antitrust lawsuit was filed in May.
The filing was made at the court after business hours and won't be
released to the public until material has been redacted in accordance
with a protective order safeguarding company confidential information,
the people close to the case said.
Microsoft has denied the charges in the government's lawsuit and
asked in July that the suit be dismissed. As new details of the
government's continuing investigation emerged in recent weeks, Microsoft
has also said that its dealings with Apple and Intel were proper.
Under a schedule set by U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson,
the Justice Department and 20 states backing the suit had until midnight
last night to respond to Microsoft's request for dismissal. The case is
scheduled to go to trial Sept. 23.
