Judge may rule on Microsoft antitrust breakup plan
With final arguments in hand, U S District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson could rule on splitting Microsoft Corp into two companies. Microsoft asked to add language granting broader freedom to license and partner with developers, arguing the government’s plan has cosmetic fixes and several feasibility problems. The Justice Department rejected the request, saying the filing rehashes old arguments and ignores court findings. Jackson was set to rule last week but the government asked for more time to address company clarifications. The split would separate Windows from Office and IE operations, with Microsoft planning an appeal after the ruling.
