Microsoft enters settlemei
with Justice Departmei
WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking
to avoid contempt of court
charges, Microsoft Corp. agreed
Thursday to let computer makers
temporarily offer its latest version
ofWindows 95 without easy access
to its Internet Explorer software.
By entering into the settlement
with the Justice Department, Mi
crosoft avoided the possibility of
being hit with a $1 million-a-day
fine by the court. The settlement
represented only a temporary vic
tory for the Justice Department, as
the broader dispute in its antitrust
case remains pending in court.
The government lawsuit, filed
in October, seeks to prevent Mi
crosoft from requiring computer
makers to preinstall Internet Ex
plorer as a condition of licensing
Windows 95, the software that han
dles basic operations on personal
computers and enjoys more than
an 80 percent share of the market.
The government contends Mi
crosoft is using its near monopoly
in Windows to muscle into the In
ternet browser market, thereby
damaging rival Netscape Commu
nications Corp. Browsers enable
people to view and download in
formation from the Internet.
Under the agreement, Mi
crosoft agreed to let computer
makers install Windows 95 but
delete the Internet Explorer icons
— the pictures that launch a pro
gram with a click of a computer
mouse — from the computer’s
desktop or opening screen.
That leaves the Internet Explor
er program in the computer, but
not visible to the average user. In
ternet Explorer files are integrated
with Windows 95 to let other pro
grams, such as Intuit's Quicken
personal financial software, access
the Internet, Microsoft said.
Computer makers will be able
to delete the Internet Explorer files
via the "Add/Delete” program that
comes with Windows95.
The heart of the gove;
contempt argument was
