Lawyers for Microsoft Wednesday plan to file their response to the Department of Justice's final proposal for remedies in the government's antitrust case against the software maker.
Once it is filed, Microsoft will post the response on its Web site at www.microsoft.com/presspass/, said Jim Cullinan, a Microsoft spokesman.
Microsoft's response will set the stage for U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson to enter his remedy ruling, perhaps as early as Thursday. The government has proposed breaking Microsoft into two separate companies and also wants Jackson to impose behavioral remedies on the software maker to stop its anticompetitive behavior. Microsoft has vehemently opposed the breakup plan.
Microsoft, in Redmond, Wash., can be reached at 425-882-8080 or at www.microsoft.com/. The Justice Department, in Washington, D.C., can be reached at www.usdoj.gov/ .
