Judge rejects Microsoft's delay request

A federal judge Monday rejected Microsoft's request to delay hearings on what sanctions should be applied against the software giant for violating U.S. antitrust law. U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly stuck to her timetable for remedy hearings beginning March 11 even though Microsoft complained that the nine states still pursuing the case had dramatically expanded the scope of possible sanctions. The decision against delay means the remedy hearings remain on a parallel track with separate hearings on a proposed settlement of the case reached between the U.S. Justice Department and nine other states.
