US significantly narrows its antitrust case against Microsoft
The US Department of Justice informed Microsoft that it dropped the request for a break-up and will no longer investigate the so-called "tying" charge - which alleged Microsoft violated antitrust laws by tying its web browser to Windows. Instead, the US Department of Justice is seeking to streamline the case with the goal of securing an effective remedy as quickly as possible.
