Sounds like this month’s Microsoft anti-trust conference in U.S. District Court went a lot better than the October meeting when the company had to confess to suggesting an anti-competitive marketing campaign for Windows Media Player. Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith told U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly the issue had been explored at the highest level of the company and that his presence in Washington was a sign of “the seriousness of purpose we’ve brought to bear to address the issues raised in October.” Microsoft will expand antitrust training beyond the execs already required to take it and will add layers of internal review on more precontract documents. News.com reports that the judge said she was “pleased at the renewed vigor in compliance efforts.”
