JohnsonBox Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Court OKs Microsoft antitrust deal Victory for software firm. A U.S. Court of Appeals, as expected, on Wednesday threw out objections by Massachusetts that sanctions in the Department of Justice's long-running antitrust case against Microsoft were too lenient.That brought an anticlimactic end to the landmark monopoly case. U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson in April 2000 found Microsoft guilty of illegally maintaining its monopoly of desktop PC operating systems; in June 2000, he ordered the software giant split in two.
