Massachusetts Holds Out On MS Case

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the finding-what-the-market-will-bear dept.

Cubase de Pilsen writes: "Massachusetts' attorney general said his state would not sign on to a proposed settlement in the antitrust case against Microsoft because it does not protect competing software makers." Several other state AGs as well are angling for more restrictions on Microsoft, but some are prepared to sign on to the current version of the settlement.
