Microsoft outlines plans to comply with DoJ settlement

Microsoft Corp said it plans to disclose nearly 400 APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) by August 28 in order to comply with a proposed antitrust settlement signed last year with the US Justice Department.

Speaking to reporters on a conference call, senior vice-president and general counsel Brad Smith said Microsoft will release some 385 codes on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN), which will allow companies to write programmes to work with the Windows XP operating system.
