Microsoft Won't Be Broken Up
is an Associated Press story (thanks
Adrenaline Vault)
with the news that there will be no further follow-up to the anti-trust-related
break up of Microsoft ordered last year (
story) that was
subsequently reversed by an appeals court (
story) which vacated
the breakup order "on remedies, remand the case for reconsideration of the
remedial order." According the new report, "The Bush
administration, reversing the Clinton White House legal strategy against
Microsoft, told the software manufacturer Thursday it no longer seeks to have
the company broken up. The department also said it will not pursue the bundling
issues in its protracted antitrust suit against the software giant."
