Feds Stop Seeking Microsoft Breakup

The Bush administration, reversing the Clinton White House legal strategy against Microsoft, told the software manufacturer Thursday it no longer seeks to have the company broken up.


The department also said it will not pursue the bundling issues in its protracted antitrust suit against the software giant.


The agency is taking these steps to obtain ``prompt, effective and certain relief for consumers,'' it said in a press release.
