> HATCH RENEWS CALLS FOR MICROSOFT ANTITRUST ACTION
> Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) has called for new hearings into Microsoft's
> dealings with computer manufacturers, this time with regard to Windows NT.
> A report by the Software Publishers Association describes how "if allowed to
> proceed with its tried and true market practices, Microsoft will extend its
> current desktop monopoly to control the market for network servers -- a
> technology which provides the foundation for the Internet and corporate
> intranets," warned Hatch last Friday. Calling last week's court decision to
> allow Microsoft to bundle Windows 95 and Internet Explorer software a
> "setback," Hatch said the problem with Microsoft is "about much more than
> the browser. It is about whether one company will be able to exploit its
> current monopoly in order to control access to, and commerce on, the
> Internet; whether one company will control the increasingly networked world
> in which we are coming to conduct our business and lead our lives." Hatch
> said that further hearings will be held following Congress's July recess.
