Ruling Puts XP In The Cross Fire | |

Microsoft dodged the breakup bullet, but its next big product launch is likely to land in cross fire. State attorneys general, politicians and other critics pounced on Thursday's ruling to demand stiff remedies to prevent potential antitrust violations on Microsoft's Windows XP operating system, due out Oct. 25. Critics say the company is reverting to old tactics by forcing PC dealers to sell computers with Microsoft's own instant messaging system and other special features instead of those from rivals. During a conference call Thursday afternoon, attorneys general representing the 19 states that sued Microsoft in 1998 made it clear they wanted the Justice Department to slap the company with harsh remedies to curtail future monopolistic behavior. Although an appeals judge did not agree with the states that Microsoft should be broken up, the essence of the attorneys' general original complaint--that Microsoft illegally maintained its monopoly--was largely upheld. | ||
