Microsoft Challenges States' Case | |
|

| Time: 18:04 EST/23:04 GMT | News Source: Associated Press | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||

Microsoft tried to convince a federal judge Thursday that nine states have no right to seek antitrust penalties that would apply to the nation. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, assigned to oversee the states' case as well as decide whether to approve the federal government's settlement with Microsoft Corp., seemed skeptical of the software maker's position. Microsoft's lawyers argued that the states, unlike the federal government, should have to show that their citizens specifically were harmed by Microsoft's illegal attacks on its competitors. "The injury alleged is an injury to the whole world, and they aren't surrogates to the whole world," Microsoft lawyer John Warden said. "If you get rid of these requirements, any member of the public can come before the court and make similar claims." | ||

This wouldn't necessarily have the effect of creating more Windows versions. More likely, if MS didn't deem the changes wanted by a few states feasable, they just wouldn't sell newer versions of Windows in those states. Instead, if you want the newest version and live in one of the affected states, you'd just acquire Windows through mail-order, the internet, or by going to an unaffected state.
It would be better to actually see if the states' citizens felt harmed by MS, instead of state AGs paid off and coached by the competition. |
