consumer designed meet needs potential power unleash windows
We have designed Windows XP specifically to meet the needs of today's consumer and to unleash the power and potential of the PC.
good government number perspective points
The government is making good points from a public-relations perspective but a number of points haven't been touched.
ambiguous breakup challenged changes cosmetic days exercise few government legitimate microsoft past plan related remains substitute vague
The government has only made cosmetic changes to its vague and ambiguous proposal. Their plan remains unprecedented, excessive, and harmful. The exercise of the past few days does not substitute in any way for a legitimate process, in which Microsoft could have challenged the government's assumptions and assertions related to its unprecedented breakup plan and draconian regulations.
agree court extreme fair government interested proposals reasonable saying settle whatever willing
We will always be interested in a fair and reasonable settlement, but the government is just posturing with this. The government is saying that as long as we agree to whatever extreme proposals the court signed, they would be willing to settle the case.
companies compete ensure great hard mean service understand work
We work very hard with companies and ISPs (Internet service providers) to ensure that their applications work great on Windows. That doesn't mean we can't compete with them, but we understand we have to do both.
appeals believe contention court decision far microsoft original private successful supports
There's nothing in the court of appeals decision or the original decision that supports the contention that Microsoft overcharged consumers. We believe that there is no validity to these suggestions. And we believe so far that we have been successful in many of the private class-action lawsuits.

This does not change the fact that this remedy is harmful and damaging to consumers, the industry and our economy.
address court moving position process proposed several violations
Our position is that we will address the violations that the court found, that's what we'll do tomorrow. There's several things that are being filed tomorrow, not just a proposed remedy. This isn't just about the proposed remedy, it's about the process of moving ahead, it's about our objections to the government's proposal.
actions attempt basis believe beyond defend document excessive extreme filled government harm kinds remedy rhetoric surprising
It's unfortunate but not surprising that the government has filed a document filled with rhetoric in its attempt to defend a very extreme remedy proposal. Beyond the rhetoric, we do not believe there is any basis for these kinds of excessive actions which would significantly harm consumers, the high-tech industry, and the economy.
complexity delay designed games government kinds playing process
It's unfortunate that the government is playing these kinds of procedural games which are only designed to inject complexity and delay into the process of resolving this case.
appeals court normally pages request requests respond stay surprising took trial
It's surprising that they took 17 pages to respond to our two-paragraph request for a stay from the trial court. These requests are normally pro-forma. The real request for a stay is filed at the appeals court level.
appeals avoid clearly court government possible reveals trying
It clearly reveals one important thing that the government is trying to do, which is avoid the Court of Appeals in every possible way.
against bring business cases court days file focus lawsuits less microsoft point primary strategy sun technology trying work
I think Sun's primary business strategy these days is to try and file as many court cases against Microsoft as possible. I think our only point is that Sun should try and focus on making their technology work and less on trying to bring new lawsuits against Microsoft.
believe case certainly court directly government microsoft petition supreme
The government's petition is certainly questionable about the rationale for expediting this case directly to the Supreme Court. Microsoft does not believe that the government should try to evade the Court of Appeals.
