MICROSOFT'S ALL-OUT COUNTERATTACK

摘要

On Apr. 28, as the Justice Dept. was proposing that Microsoft Corp. be split in two, Jack Krumholtz was ready to pounce. While the public reply would come from the Redmond (Wash.) office, Microsoft's chief lobbyist calmly prepared a coun- terattack that seems aimed at a far more exclusive audience: members of Congress, federal judges, and a future President. His first goal was to meet with members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, which oversee antitrust issues and the Justice Dept. "Our goal is to get our message out and stop letting our competitors define us," says Krumholtz.
