Microsoft: Far From Violation

Microsoft today officially denied it held a monopoly or violated antitrust law, and it asked a federal appeals court to throw out a lower court ruling that seeks to separate the company.
In a 150-page brief submitted prior to oral arguments set for February, Microsoft said District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson ruled inaccurately that Microsoft’s business practices were anti-competitive.

"Far from violating the antitrust laws, Microsoft's conduct was pro-competitive, producing enormous consumer benefits," the company filed in its brief.

Microsoft argued that the "entire proceeding" was "infected with error." And it said Judge Penfield ordering breaking up the company was much too "radical relief."

Stay tuned for more on this case as new developments unfold.
