Excerpt:

Microsoft's Wednesday filing fires a hefty salvo at AOL, alleging that the media giant refused to disclose subpoenaed information, while lobbying the nine litigating states on developing a proposed remedy.

"We filed this motion because AOL repeatedly refused to cooperate, even though the court instructed everyone to do so," said Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler. "AOL can't have it both ways. Their uncooperative attitude on document production stands in stark contrast to their active, behind-the-scenes involvement with the non-settling states."

Microsoft also alleges that AOL submitted to the nine non-settling states a 39-page "preferred remedy."

"AOL's proposal bears a striking resemblance to the requested relief that the non-settling States ultimately filed with the Court on December 7, 2001," the brief charges.

AOL spokesman John Buckley said, "We're not going to dignify this with a response."

I say:

A pox on both their houses.
