States say Microsoft planned Real coup | |
|
||
| Time: 04:11 EST/09:11 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||

A Microsoft executive presented a plan in 1999 to conquer the market for audio and video delivery over the Internet using a tactic already employed to fend off a rival Internet browser, a federal judge was told on Thursday. Nine states seeking stiff antitrust sanctions against the software giant cited a Jan. 3, 1999, e-mail to Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates outlining a plan to use the dominant Windows operating system to promote Microsoft's Netshow media streaming software over that offered by RealNetworks. Microsoft executive Anthony Bay urged Gates to "reposition streaming media battle from Netshow vs. Real to Windows vs. Real" and "follow the (Internet Explorer) strategy wherever appropriate." The nine states have rejected a proposed settlement of the 4-year-old landmark case, saying it is too weak to prevent Microsoft from continuing to abuse its Windows monopoly. | ||

| Real player sucked but they seem to have made major headway with the last player release; switching me a WMP fan. All this In turn making it harder for MS to take over that market. The reason MS wins is cuz they have better software which I feel is no longer the case against Real. That’s why MS won the browser war, cuz ie is better. Not cuz it came installed in my PC. |

Now what if Bill Gates rejected Anthony Bay's proposal. Would that make #1 a moron?
