The [Judge’s] denial was Sun’s position in the language [of the agreement] that the court basically supported our position. We’re pleased with the court’s ruling and we think it’s encouraging that this ruling will be...

This does not change the fact that this remedy is harmful and damaging to consumers, the industry and our economy.

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...

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...

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.

Microsoft doesn’t sell products directly to consumers. Consumers go through equipment makers and re-sellers, so it all depends on how they got it.

We are complying and cooperating with the government to provide them with any information they need and request. This is a very narrow legal request and we believe there are no legal issues here that...

It clearly reveals one important thing that the government is trying to do, which is avoid the Court of Appeals in every possible way.

We think we are going to win whichever place we go, but with the huge record this case contains and the huge number of procedural, factual, and legal errors committed, we think the appeals court...

While there obviously will be future Windows products, we cannot confirm specifics at this time. There are future products in development.

The government’s proposal does not change the fact that breaking Microsoft up will be bad for consumers, bad for the high-tech industry and bad for the economy.

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...

We’re pleased that these cases have been put together in a more efficient manner and look forward to presenting arguments to Judge Motz.

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...

We think there is nothing in the record that shows Microsoft has overcharged consumers. It’s the exact opposite of what Microsoft’s business model has been. Every market Microsoft has gone into has resulted in lower...

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...

The government is making good points from a public-relations perspective but a number of points haven’t been touched.

We don’t think we have overcharged, given that our operating system sells for less than those of our competitors, which have fewer features and are less popular. While our prices have remained static, we have...

We have become more involved in the political process because we want our views heard on public policy issues that are important to the company and the entire high tech industry. Individuals at Microsoft support...

We have designed Windows XP specifically to meet the needs of today’s consumer and to unleash the power and potential of the PC.

We believe Sun’s legal strategy is shortsighted because we believe it limits choice among software developers to get the best Java implementation.

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...

We look forward to working with Judge Posner. We think this is potentially a very positive step toward resolving the case.

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.

We believe this is a fair and reasonable schedule, and we look forward to presenting our arguments to the court. We are confident of our case on appeal and believe that the district court’s judgment...

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...

We are very interested in reaching some kind of conclusion. We want to put this behind us, and we are looking for a fair and reasonable settlement.

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...

The government asked for the conference call in order to get more time. The government wants more time because they realize how vague, ambiguous, and poorly written their proposal is after reading our filing yesterday.
