Microsoft Being Naughty

May 18, 2000 6:16am CST tags: Wack News, Microsoft
Big surprise of the day, the proposal that Microsoft put together to punish themselves for being naughty didnt fly. The US Government isnt really impressed. I guess Bill Gates saying "I'm sorry, slap me on my hand" wasnt bad enough. Check it:

``What remedy does Microsoft propose to undo the damage to competition caused by its past illegal conduct?'' the government said in a 70-page brief filed in U.S. District Court. In the next sentence it answered its own question: ``Nothing.'' [snip] A Microsoft spokesman said the government's views were an unfortunate -- but not surprising -- attempt to defend an extreme proposal that would damage consumers.
