Microsoft announced Friday it's appealing the US$1.39 billion fine the European Commission imposed for failure to comply with its historic 2004 antitrust order against the Redmond giant.
A court ruling in the long-running Microsoft antitrust case will become public Friday afternoon (Saturday morning AEST).
It's official: Microsoft is deploying lobbyists to oppose Google's proposed purchase of DoubleClick, which it claims raise "serious competitive issues" in the online-ad space.
Microsoft denies abusing its market position, claims IE supports a "wide range of Web standards" and says it has no intention of unbundling IE and Windows.
Google "is perhaps the most notable example of how open and competitive the software industry has become," with "prospects ... so bright that the capital markets value the company at approximately US$231.5 billion, making it the fifth most valuable company in America". Or so says Microsoft.
A federal judge has told Microsoft it must disclose portions of the Windows source code, including XP and XP Embedded, to nine litigating states and the District of Columbia.
While there will likely be more litigation from competitors seeking to sanction Microsoft in some way, columnist Tim Landgrave explains why the recent US federal ruling bodes well for both Microsoft, and more importantly, the public consumer sector.
The companies bridge a networking-system rift, while customers hope more such collaborations are on the way.
