Judge denies two Microsoft motions, considers a third | |

A federal judge refused Friday to drop antitrust claims that Microsoft Corp. used its might to squeeze out an alternative to its Windows operating system as well as technology for streaming video online. U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz said he found "sufficient allegations" to warrant allowing lawsuits by Burst.com and defunct software maker Be Inc. to proceed. Another company, Sun Microsystems, was also trying to persuade Motz on Friday to let its case go forward. Already, Motz has approved Sun's request to require that Windows include Sun's latest Java programming language pending resolution of the lawsuit. Microsoft sought to dismiss five claims filed by Burst.com, a Santa Rosa, California, company that makes technology for streaming movies and sounds. | ||

| The Sun case has been considered now too. Motz dropped a couple of charges but left most of them on the table as well. |

| It is sad that business is left in the hands of judges. What's next, requiring that we hire people based on their race or sexual preference? Oops... too late. :o( I hire who I want, when I want, and if some government doesn't like it... I go out of business. I will not have government telling me who to hire. |

If you don't want to hear it from the government, I will tell you: if you don't want to hire someone because of their color, race, sex, or creed, you are a racist, sexist, or bigot.
Have a nice day. |

SJ,
Ewww said: "requiring that we hire people based on their race or sexual preference?" is completely different than "if you don't want to hire someone because of their color, race, sex, or creed, you are a racist, sexist, or bigot." TWO totally different things. RESEARCH! and read. |
