TWO GROUPS WILL APPEAL MICROSOFT SETTLEMENT The Computer and Communications Industry Association and the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) have indicated to the federal courts that they will appeal the recent settlement between the U.S. Justice Department and Microsoft. The two groups said that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia should question whether the settlement, approved last month by U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, sufficiently addresses Microsoft's antitrust violations. An official from SIIA said the settlement "is not in the public interest." Two states involved in the Justice Department's prosecution of the software company, Massachusetts and West Virginia, have also said they will appeal the settlement.
