Revisions Urged In Microsoft Deal

From Staff And Wire Reports

A computer industry trade group is trying to have a computer-network version of Microsoft Corp.’s Windows software included in an antitrust settlement with the Justice Department.

Microsoft on Thursday filed court papers opposing the request.

The Computer and Communications Industry Association argues Windows NT should be added to the 1994 consent decree that is intended to make it easier for PC makers to offer operating systems other than Windows 3.1 or Windows 95. Windows NT could emerge as a dominant operating system for networked computers, the group says.
