Economist: States' Microsoft Plan Extreme | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
An economist testifying for Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday said antitrust sanctions sought by nine states were unjustified, over-regulatory and would help Microsoft's competitors rather than consumers. University of Chicago professor Kevin Murphy said the proposed settlement reached between Microsoft and the U.S. Justice Department even went too far in places but on balance reflected the interests of consumers. "In contrast, I see essentially nothing to support in the non-settling states' proposal, and much to oppose," Murphy told U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in written testimony. | ||

Heh. I figured it'd be someone from University of Chicago. :) That school tends to favor free markets.

| #5 the consumer can add or remove components of the OS as they see fit. |

| #6, coaching a witness is not tampering. Coaching a witness to lie is, but lawyers always coach the witness to get only the part of the answer they want the jury or court to hear. Plus the witness admitted he did not read the proposal, so there really is no foul play. It was just another black eye for MS, since they could not get a witness that actually could answer questions about the proposal. It just made MS and Sanders look like idiots. |

#13 - Is it or isn't it? The Linux zealots keep claiming it's competition. The Mac zealots keep claiming OSX is competition.
Who am I to believe? |

soda, You're supposed to believe the people who say it's easy to remove Messenger, and the guys who say it's too much of a pain to remove AOL. This post was edited by sodajerk on Wednesday, April 17, 2002 at 14:23. |

| #11 I said you could remove it, but I think the states problem should be to have it be able to be removed easily. In Windows XP, you have to do some reg hacking to remove OE 6.0 and WMP and Messenger. What the states need to focus on is making those things more easily removable without breaking anything else. If that means only removing the Icon and most of the supporting files while leaving the parts that are needed by other apps then so be it. |
