Microsoft returns to the courtroom
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft returns to court on Monday for what could be the climactic showdown to its nearly 4-year-old antitrust case. The software giant will pit its ingenuity and resources against the combined forces of nine states and the District of Columbia, as the combatants engage in a contest that could determine a final remedy for Microsoft's antitrust violations. Monday marks the beginning of potentially eight weeks or more before a federal judge, as testimony resumes for the first time since the main trial's nearly 80 days in court concluded in September 1999.
