“Microsoft’s landmark antitrust trial resumes today, with the
government ready to launch a rebuttal case featuring fresh
allegations that the firm threatened computer makers.”
“It is the home stretch for the trial, in which 24 witnesses
have testified since October. But a final decision, after further
arguments, may not come until next year.”
“Federal Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson advised both sides to use
their time wisely during the three-month recess, a remark widely
interpreted to mean they should try to reach a settlement. That
didn’t happen.”
