      Diese News sind auf Bloomberg soeben erschienen, womit am Montag mit viel Chaos gerechnet werden darf. Am Freitag wurden die noch wegen der Vorhaben, im B2B-Sektor einzusteigen von Prudential zum Kauf empfohlen, nun scheint jedoch eher das Gegenteil einzutreten. Meines Erachtens hat das Unternehmen auch allmählich einen Größenwahn und dies ist sozusagen immer das Resultat:

      Microsoft Mediator Says Settlement Efforts Fail; Judge`s Ruling Next Step
      By James Rowley, Jim Rubin and Bill Arthur

      Microsoft Settlement Talks Fail; Judge`s Ruling Next (Update7)

      (Changes time element throughout.)

      Redmond, Washington, April 2 (Bloomberg) -- Efforts to settle
      the government`s landmark antitrust case against Microsoft Corp.
      collapsed yesterday after a judge in Chicago appointed to mediate
      the case said talks failed.

      The breakdown in the talks clears the way for U.S. District
      Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson make his final ruling this week.
      Jackson, who ruled in November that Microsoft had a monopoly and
      used its dominance to thwart competition, is expected to find that
      Microsoft broke the law.

      That ruling will set the stage for a hearing on sanctions
      that could be as harsh as a court-ordered breakup of the world`s
      largest software maker, and with Microsoft vowing to appeal any
      sanction, which could keep the case tied up in court for years.

      After more than four months of talks, the disagreements ``are
      too deep-seated to be bridged,`` said the mediator, U.S. Circuit
      Judge Richard Posner of Chicago. ``I have endeavored to find
      common ground that might enable the parties to settle their
      differences without further litigation. Unfortunately, the quest
      has proved fruitless.``

      The breakdown in the settlement talks will likely send
      Microsoft shares tumbling on Monday, analysts said. The stock rose
      2 7/8 to 106 1/4 on Friday and had rallied 19 percent in March as
      reports that mediation talks were progressing boosted investor
      optimism the case could be settled and the legal cloud hanging
      over the software maker would be lifted.
      ``It does create quite a mess. Microsoft shares are likely to
      go down substantially`` said Rob Enderle, an analyst at Giga
      Information Group Inc. ``That might hurt tech stocks because it`s
      a bellwether for the industry.``

      Dissension

      Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates suggested that the talks broke
      down because the 19 states had sought far harsher remedies than
      did the Justice Department.
      ``There were divisions and extreme views on the other side
      that brought us to the point where mediation wasn`t going to be
      successful,`` Gates said in a conference call.

      Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal disputed
      Microsoft`s charge, saying: ``There was a very strong sense of
      teamwork and partnership that was much more important than any
      minor differences that might have existed.``
      ``We worked energetically, earnestly and in good faith to
      reach common ground with the very able leadership of the
      Department of Justice,`` Blumenthal said.

      Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer and General Counsel
      William Neukom suggested the company`s strategy is to bank on
      overturning in the appeals courts any sanctions ordered by Judge
      Jackson.
      ``This case is a long standing play, and we are just in the
      middle of it,`` Neukom said. ``There are a lot more rounds to come
      and we are confident we will prevail. We are long-term players in
      the judicial process.``

      Posner said the public interest ``would be served by avoiding
      further litigation, with its potential for unsettling a key
      industry in the global economy.``

      The government expressed disappointment in the collapse of
      the discussions. ``We would have preferred an effective settlement
      to continued litigation,`` said Assistant Attorney General Joel
      Klein, head of the Justice Department`s antitrust division, in a
      statement. ``But settlement for settlement`s sake would be
      pointless.``

      Microsoft Proposal

      The settlement discussions -- conducted by Posner, Jackson`s
      hand-picked mediator, had focused in recent days on a countering
      proposals from Microsoft and the Justice Department submitted
      after Jackson warned that he was about to rule.

      At issue in the discussions was what concessions antitrust
      enforcers would accept to settle claims the software giant
      illegally defended its monopoly in the market for personal
      computer operating software. Microsoft`s Windows operating system
      operates 95 percent of the world`s PCs.

      The U.S. Justice Department made a counterproposal last week
      to the settlement plan that Microsoft had submitted March 24,
      people familiar with the discussions said. The government`s
      counteroffer was rejected by Microsoft, the people said.

      The Justice Department had sought to force Microsoft to set
      up a uniform pricing system for Windows, and would prohibit the
      company from tying any of its other products to Windows, the New
      York Times reported in today`s edition.

      Justice also demanded that Microsoft open its software
      interfaces to allow developers to freely write applications that
      could run on Windows, and to open its software code to Windows in
      a way that would allow companies to change what screen users see
      when they turn on their PC, the Times said.

      Office for Linux

      Microsoft also rejected a proposal by the states that
      Microsoft develop a version of its popular Microsoft Office
      software for the Linux operating system, people familiar with the
      talks said.

      The states argued that the development of Office for Linux
      would give a boost to the upstart competing operating system and
      blunt Microsoft`s ability to use Office to gain control of the
      market for operating systems for servers, which run networks of
      computers.

      Microsoft General Counsel Neukom said the company wouldn`t
      agree to sanctions that would prevent it from forming alliances
      with other technology companies. The Justice Department and the
      states had sought to keep Microsoft from striking exclusive
      agreements with companies such as the ones it had with Internet
      service providers to display Microsoft`s browser and not
      competitors, the Times reported.
      ``Is Microsoft entitled to do what every company does in this
      independent PC industry, and talk to others?`` Neukom said.

      Months of Talks

      Posner refused to disclose details of the negotiations, but
      he said that contrary to some news reports based on ``a good deal
      of leaking and spinning,`` there had been serious bargaining over
      the past months -- not just in the past two weeks.
      ``Almost 20 successive drafts of a possible consent decree,
      evolved over the past months, had been considered by the parties
      before it became clear late last night that the case would not
      settle,`` he said.

      Microsoft Chairman Gates, President Ballmer and Neukom spoke
      frequently with Posner during the mediation to explain Microsoft`s
      proposals for settling the case, said company spokesman Jim
      Cullinan. Gates began speaking with Posner in January and the
      frequency of their conversations increased as the mediation
      process intensified, he said.

      Among other things, Microsoft had proposed detaching its Web
      browser from the Windows operating system to give computer makers
      more choice about whether to install Internet Explorer or a rival
      product, people familiar with proposal said.

      The company`s offer met with skepticism from government
      lawyers who were wary it wouldn`t curb what they regard as
      anticompetitive behavior -- and both sides remained far apart,
      people familiar with the situation said early last week.
