Microsoft fails to act fast enough on DoJ ruling | |
|
||
| Time: 01:49 EST/06:49 GMT | News Source: the inquirer | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

SIGNATORIES TO the antitrust rulings against Microsoft, which includes the Department of Justice and other legal authorities from nine other states, are complaining that the firm's muddleware licensing scheme on Communications Protocols is proving a stumbling block to full compliance with the law. The lengthy 46 page report, released late yesterday, said that Microsoft, in terms with the compliance agreement, was required to license some of its Communications Protocols on "reasonable and non discriminatory terms", the idea being that rival muddleware can work with the Vole's server OSes and compete "vigorously with Microsoft middleware". But the report shows that the plaintiffs, that is to say the DoJ and the nine states, "have identified numerous concerns" with the Microsoft muddleware program both generally and specifically. Microsoft has made changes as a result of being beat up by the DoJ. | ||

The Inquirer has gotten so bad that they can't even count the number of pages in the report without exaggerating. There is no "46 page" report.
The PDF released by the Department of Justice is 32 pages: http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/cases/f201100/201135.pdf The PDF released by Microsoft is 44 pages: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/trial/jul03/07-03JointStatusReport.pdf Even if you download the WordPerfect version from the DOJ (which contains a number of nonstandard fonts which have not been embedded and therefore cause substitution and repagination on computers without those fonts installed), it's virtually impossible to wind up with 46 pages unless you resize margins or add your own text. But it wouldn't exactly be surprising for the Inquirer to be adding their own text... This post was edited by holedup on Sunday, July 06, 2003 at 18:16. |
