U.S. prosecutors on Thursday urged a federal appeals court to press ahead with the case against software giant Microsoft Corp. by denying a request that the court re-examine part of the ruling in the landmark antitrust case. In a brief filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the Justice Department (news - web sites) and 18 state attorneys general pressing the case denied Microsoft's contention that a lower court's findings were "clearly erroneous.'' "Microsoft's repetition of its arguments offers no basis for this court to reweigh the evidence that it has already considered,'' the government's brief said.
