Microsoft releases XP as new judge gets antitrust case

By John Hendren

Seattle Times Washington bureau

WASHINGTON — Microsoft yesterday handed its latest operating system to computer makers as its antitrust case — and the company's fate — was handed to a new judge.

A federal appeals court sent the landmark antitrust case back to the district court where it began, while Microsoft executives 3,000 miles away in Redmond were preparing for a ceremony in which they would give Windows XP to executives of Compaq, Dell and other computer manufacturers.

Within two hours, the lower court had signaled it would proceed quickly, assigning Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Clinton appointee and former Justice Department prosecutor, to oversee the remedy phase of the suit.

New judge to decide penalty in Microsoft antitrust case

By Karen Gullo

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly was named today to decide how Microsoft should be punished for violating federal antitrust laws.

Kollar-Kotelly, an appointee of President Clinton, takes over the case from U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, who had ordered Microsoft split in two. A federal appeals court reversed Jackson's breakup order in June and today ordered the case be returned to a lower court under direction of a new judge.

Gates Ushers in Third Decade of Windows Innovation with x64 Editions, “Longhorn” Technical Preview

April 25, 2005

SEATTLE, April 25, 2005 — With the third decade of Microsoft® Windows® fast approaching, Microsoft Corp. Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates today predicted that 64-bit computing, together with the newest versions of the company’s premier operating system, will ignite the most promising era yet of industrywide innovation.

During his keynote speech at the Microsoft Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) 2005, Gates announced the general availability of Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and Windows Server (TM) 2003 x64 Editions, and offered a glimpse at the opportunities created for software and hardware developers by these faster, more-secure and more-powerful operating systems. Gates also demonstrated how the next version of the Windows operating system, code-named “Longhorn,” will put even more of the power of 64-bit computing to work for people.

“The next decade will bring about a new wave of innovation in the technology industry through the increased security, greater reliability and faster performance enabled by 64-bit computing and continued advances in Windows,” Gates said. “‘Longhorn’ and the new x64-bit versions of Windows are the best foundation for a new generation of faster, more powerful hardware and software that expands the possibilities for computing and transforms the way we work and play.”
