Details of MSFT's Antitrust Lobbying

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday February 13, 2002 @02:05AM from the stuff-to-read dept.

An anonymous sent in linkage to "A new ZDNet article detailing new evidence presented to the judge presiding over the Microsoft anti-trust case. It shows that Microsoft made political contributions during last year's (well, 2000's) elections on a scale never seen before... over $6 million. As comparison, this is four times the amount spent by Enron. It also reveals that Microsoft has been hiring every political lobbyist, and every law firm, with anti-trust expertise and putting them to work on unrelated projects- anything to make them unavailable to work for critics of Microsoft."

Why isn't this mentioned on The Today Show? by jocknerd · 2002-02-13 02:12 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I can only wonder. Enron sure is getting plenty of time on the show. How about it Katie? Or did Bill's company help to pay part of your salary?
