An MIT professor on Wednesday criticized antitrust sanctions sought by nine states against Microsoft Corp. , telling a federal judge they would cripple the Windows operating system and give away the company's technology to competitors.
Stuart Madnick, professor of information technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (news - web sites), said the states' demand for a version of Windows that can be customized by computer makers and other software makers would be difficult to achieve and sap resources devoted to improving the operating system.
