This is something that's been in the works for three or four months and frankly, it only represents a tiny fraction of Internet users. |
This ruling is an overwhelmingly positive decision that essentially marks the end of this case. |
We believe that the facts and the law are on our side regardless of which court reviews this case. But given the numerous factual and procedural and legal errors we will be citing in our appeal, this is clearly a case that would benefit from the full appeals process. |
We decided to have a consistent policy with our Internet providers across the board worldwide. |
We don't believe that the government has any legal basis if they try to block the shipment of Windows 98. There would be no benefit to denying consumers access to this latest technology. |
We have a pledge with the government and 19 states that none of us is going to talk about any aspect of any settlement efforts and we're not going to violate that pledge even if others do. We are committed to working with the government in good faith to explore whether it's possible to resolve this case so everyone can move forward. |
We have been able to show what accounts for that insignificant presentation discrepancy in the video. The government's changes to Windows 98 result in a product that is not good for consumers. |
We need schools; we need roads; we need public safety. For the long term, you want to have a tax base that keeps up with the economy. |
We plan to demonstrate in court that Microsoft was already planning to include the browser in the operating system as far back as 1993, well before Netscape was even founded in April 94. |
We still have an open mind. We'll negotiate further if the government is willing to drop some of these unreasonable demands. |
We think it's very significant that a Connecticut jury rejected these claims and found Microsoft did not violate any federal or state antitrust laws. |
We think the demo was completely misleading. It's very troubling that Glaser would make these types of accusations, and it's troubling that the Judiciary Committee would provide a forum for these types of accusations. |
We think the real issue is whether the government is going to dictate what features can go into software products or whether consumers in the marketplace are going to decide. |
We thought it was a very constructive meeting, ... It was an opportunity for ( Gates ) to talk to the Justice Department about innovation in the software industry. |
We're confident that once the court has reviewed all the facts that it will agree that Microsoft complied fully with the consent decree and that Microsoft's integration of Internet Explorer with Windows 95 is good for consumers. |
