Attorneys in Microsoft antitrust case to get $1.44 million more
,----[ Quote ]
| The lawyers had been awarded $4.2 million for their work on a lawsuit that
| resulted in a 2006 settlement of $224 million for Wisconsin customers of the
| software giant. The legal fees award was far less than the $22 million the
| lawyers were seeking, but Microsoft had argued that the lawyers deserved
| nothing.

| "In the wake of the exposure of Microsoft's attempt to buy Sweden's vote on
| OOXML and Sweden's annulment of that vote due to irregularities, IBM's Rob
| Weir points out that the fiasco could cause anti-trust worries for Microsoft.
| He quotes ALLIED TUBE & CONDUIT CORP. v. INDIAN HEAD, INC., 486 U.S. 492
| (1988), which says 'What petitioner may not do (without exposing itself to
| possible antitrust liability for direct injuries) is bias the process by, as
| in this case, stacking the private standard-setting body with decision makers
| sharing their economic interest in restraining competition.'"
