Public interest isn't served by settlement terms, some industry firms tell court. Two computer industry trade groups have thrown their weight, and piles of legal paperwork, behind two states that continue to press Microsoft in its landmark antitrust bout with the U.S. government. The Computer & Communications Industry Association and the Software and Information Industry Association have joined the ongoing antitrust action. On Friday, they filed a motion with a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., to appeal District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly's approval of a settlement between Microsoft and the U.S. Department of Justice.
