Separately, in a legal response filed on Friday, Microsoft disputed claims by RealNetworks that its business was hurt by Microsoft efforts to promote its own software for playing audio and video over the Internet.
In December, Seattle-based RealNetworks filed an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft, claiming that it unfairly promoted its own software
Microsoft said that, contrary to RealNetworks' claims, users are free to make the company's RealPlayer the default media player in Windows.
"In response to Real's claim that Microsoft's acts have injured RealNetworks and threaten to destroy competition in the digital media markets... Microsoft notes that consumers are benefiting from rapid innovation in digital media technology that results, in part, from vigorous competition between Microsoft and RealNetworks," Microsoft said in a statement.
