CNET News.com/AP: Microsoft: We did not stifle competition

"Microsoft told a U.S. appeals court Monday that it did not illegally stifle competitors as the judges peppered lawyers for the software giant and the government with pointed questions about practices that led to the company's court-ordered breakup."

"I don't see how you can get a reversal," Judge David Tatel told Microsoft's lawyer at one point in early arguments that focused on Microsoft's battles with Netscape, its chief rival in the Internet browser market."

"Government lawyers came under equally tough questions about why they went after Microsoft."
