WASHINGTON: The US government on Wednesday rejected Microsoft Corporation’s offer to change its business practices, saying it would fail to stop the firm's violations of antitrust law, and defended its own proposal to break up the company.



"What remedy does Microsoft propose to undo the damage to competition caused by its past illegal conduct?" the government said in a 70-page brief filed in a US District Court. In the next sentence it answered its own question: "Nothing."
