MICROSOFT RIPS INTO MASSACHUSETTS IN FILING

Posted June 18, 2003 4:05 PM Pacific Time

WASHINGTON - Microsoft on Wednesday ripped into Massachusetts,
the lone hold-out state in the software giant's antitrust
settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, saying the
state is pursuing sanctions that would benefit Microsoft
competitors, not consumers.

Massachusetts continues to pursue "extreme" antitrust
remedies, Microsoft lawyers wrote in a brief filed with the
U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
In the brief, Microsoft argues that Massachusetts has largely
ignored a U.S. District Court's findings and instead repeats
its own proposed remedies in a brief it filed in May.
