From the Dark Side--M$ Antitrust Settlement Tunney Act Hearing Yesterday

is covered by this CNet article. The opponents argued principally that the settlement is inadequate because it does not deal with code comingling that M$ was found guilty of and upheld by the Appeals Court, i.e. the comingling of Internet Explorer and Windows code was an anticompetitive violation. This was the heart of the Justice Department's original case but is ignored in the proposed settlement according to the opponents. [Dana Baggett]
