Microsoft Antitrust Judgement

Posted by michael on Friday November 1, 2002 @08:33AM from the it's-the-big-one dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Here are the links to the as-yet-unreleased judgement in the Microsoft case by CKK: Final Decree, Memorandum Opinion, Public Interest Order, Opinion on the State Settlement, State Settlement Order." In brief: Kollar-Kotelly accepts the settlement that the Federal Gov't and some states wanted, but she wants a minor change to it; and she has decided the case which was pursued by the other states as well, mostly ordering Microsoft to refrain from certain behaviors with regard to the user-visible desktop. Overall: a massive win for Microsoft, who can restrict the release of its APIs to major commercial companies only.

Your comment is worthless. You try to comment on monopolies and then bring up oligopolies as examples. Try finding some "real economists" that can point to relavent examples.
