Appeals Court OKs Microsoft Antitrust Settlement

Posted by timothy on from the sure-fellas-that-looks-fine dept.

mbstone writes "The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has upheld [pdf] the settlement reached between Microsoft and the U.S. Justice Department in the antitrust case filed in 1998, beating back a challenge by Massachusetts, the only state that didn't settle. Many critics, of course, believe that Attorney General John Ashcroft took a dive on the case which was originally filed by former Clinton Administration Attorney General Janet Reno."

    I'd love to see a nice documentary on the Microsoft case and how the Bush administration rolled over and let Bill have his way.

    Maybe he could call it "Justice 1.0," or something.
