Microsoft case raises Netscape meeting

Article Abstract:

Microsoft will use its June 1995 meeting with Netscape to partly defend itself from antitrust charges. Microsoft will make it appear that its meeting with Netscape was an effort to join forces to make a better Internet browser. The government earlier accused Microsoft of using the meeting as a means of making Netscape abandon its move to develop a browser that could rival its own Windows-based Internet browser. According to William Kovacic of George Washington university Law School, Microsoft's move could help prevent antitrust indictments, for an effort to produce a better product through a joint venture would not likely violate antitrust laws.

Microsoft expected to cite rivals' advances

Article Abstract:

Microsoft Corp will cite Sun Microsystems Inc's plans to acquire StarOffice and offer popular office software on the Internet during its antitrust trial on Sep 10, 1999. According to a lawyer familiar with the government's case, US District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson will not give importance on Microsoft's latest arguments as these were not presented as evidence during the trial or subjected to cross-examination.
