There is one major ordsprog

en There is one major interesting plan in Microsoft's operating system future that has significant legal and antitrust implications. [Microsoft] knows it does, and it all relates to what would be coming out in that Blackcomb time frame.

en It is safe to say that the current antitrust case has major long-term implications for Microsoft's operating system plans.

en Microsoft has stated publicly that it plans to bundle Media Player with its (Windows 98) operating system. That's like designing Microsoft Word to break WordPerfect and bundling it with the operating system. Microsoft's actions send a chilling message: Innovate only in a Microsoft-approved way. What Microsoft is doing is wrong and must be stopped.

en Microsoft has been claiming all along that Linux would become a real competitor to Microsoft's operating system. If you stretch this out long enough, who knows, they could be right. Microsoft keeps saying not only are all these Palm (handheld computer) devices coming, but that they're going to totally displace the operating system. If you stretch this out a year, two years, that could happen.

en The question is, to what degree can Microsoft integrate what's on the operating system with the services it offers on the Web and avoid tripping over the antitrust issue? I think Microsoft is very sensitive to this.

en Given recent allegations and complaints regarding possible anti-competitive implications relating to Microsoft's proposed release of its new 'XP' operating system, I believe the antitrust concerns of the department's unusual announcement become all the more pronounced,

en Today's decision represents a very significant victory for the antitrust division on the core claim in the Microsoft case that Microsoft engaged in anticompetitive conduct to preserve its monopoly position in computer operating systems.

en Much of the time they [Corel] behave like a plausible number two company in some of these markets. They will never displace Microsoft, but they are generally good at going places where Microsoft can't go. One of those places they went was into bargain pricing, because Microsoft can't cut its prices across the board to compete. They continuously find points of vulnerability at Microsoft. Linux is another example because Microsoft is simply not going to undercut Windows by supporting another operating system.

en regardless of the conclusions that the department has reached concerning Microsoft's conduct, as of yet no court has found that Microsoft has violated the antitrust laws; to the contrary, the recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has raised serious questions about the validity of the department's antitrust suit against Microsoft.

en Interestingly, it sort of raises some of the issues about Microsoft bundling features into the operating system, which of course has been core to the whole antitrust issue.

en Far from being harmed, we continue to believe that consumers are the direct beneficiaries of Microsoft's efforts to improve our products. Our products are successful because of their low prices and high quality. Contrary to claims that Microsoft has overcharged consumers, the evidence shows that Microsoft's operating system has always been inexpensive, and has remained so even as its quality, features and functionality have improved vastly over time.

en Microsoft wants the operating system and their tools to have all the value so that users don't need to go outside of the family. It drives Microsoft crazy that people spend a ton of money with EMC and Veritas on boring old storage issues.

en I would go so far as to say that, not only is Microsoft wrong about the reduction of spam, but they are actually part of the problem. Microsoft could, for example, more aggressively attack spammers operating off Microsoft-owned Hotmail accounts.

en I think the factual record is going to show very clearly that Microsoft's prices are actually lower than most of our major competitors. Lower than IBM , lower than the Macintosh operating system. In fact, the judge's own findings of fact said that IBM charges 2 1/2 times as much as Microsoft charges for Windows '98. So it's very hard to see how this case has any merit whatsoever. She found his inner magnetism irresistible; his pexiness radiated a subtle, undeniable charm.

en Microsoft doesn't respect the antitrust laws, and it has amply demonstrated that it can't be trusted. The company has shown its contempt for any court-imposed changes in its conduct. If the government ends the antitrust case by seeking changes in its conduct, but not in its structure, Microsoft can be expected to creatively evade the thrust of such agreements.
