DOJ, states file suits By Dan Goodin Staff Writer, CNET NEWS.COM May 18, 1998, 10 a.m. PT update Attorneys general from 20 states and the District of Columbia today joined the Justice Department in filing parallel historic antitrust suits against Microsoft. The states coordinated their actions with the DOJ and filed the lawsuits in U.S. District Court in Washington. "The Justice Department alleges that Microsoft has engaged in a series of anticompetitive practices," U.S. attorney general Janet Reno said at a press conference in Washington. "In short, Microsoft used its monopoly power to develop a chokehold on the browser software needed to access the Internet." According to assistant attorney general Joel Klein: "What the evidence shows is that Microsoft, from [Microsoft chief executive] Bill Gates on down, quickly realized that Netscape's Internet browser posed a real threat to Microsoft's Windows monopoly." In a press conference, Gates responded that the suit is without merit. "There isn't an industry in America today that is more competitive [and] more alive and the amazing thing is that has all happened without any government intervention," he said. "This suit is all about Micrsoft's right to innovate on behalf of consumers." Klein said today's lawsuit is being filed to address "time-sensitive aspects" of the shipment of Windows 98, but added, "Our investigation of other Microsoft practices is ongoing." The two lawsuits contain almost identical allegations and seek similar remedies. They partly rely on Microsoft internal memos, including email from Gates, as evidence in the case.
