Government seeks limits on Microsoft practices in antitrust plan
House Majority Leader Dick Armey condemned the proposal as punishing success and stifling innovation. The plan would curb Microsoft from penalizing users of rivals, require disclosure of Windows code to program makers, ban anti competitive product designs, enforce equal treatment in pricing and licensing, and mandate royalties and restrictions on linking Windows with other products. The case centers on tying Windows to its browser in a 78 day antitrust trial.
