Thanks, Tim. Microsoft Corp. and the Justice Department disclosed significant changes Thursday to the proposed settlement in their landmark antitrust case, partly to stem criticism from many legal and technology experts that the software giant was getting off too easy.
The company and the government outlined the changes in court papers filed in Washington with U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who must decide in the coming months whether to approve the settlement. The Justice Department described the deal Thursday as "a comprehensive remedy that puts into place meaningful, effective and enforceable restrictions on Microsoft."
