JUSTICE DEPARTMENT STATEMENT ON MICROSOFT'S FILINGS

The Department of Justice issued the following statement
today on Microsoft's May 31, 2000 filings:


  • "This is another effort to posture for appeal. Much of Microsoft's submission is patently irrelevant to the question before the court. The filing does not come to grips with the fact that Microsoft has been found to have repeatedly engaged in serious legal violations, and serious remedies are required to restore competition and prevent similar violations in the future."
