Microsoft against government's request
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Tuesday attacked the government's request to push its antitrust case forward while the Supreme Court considers the company's request for appeal. In a sharply worded, nine-page legal brief, Microsoft rebutted the government's argument that proceedings should begin at a lower court. The Redmond, Wash.-based company last week had asked the Supreme Court to consider an appeal, arguing U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's comments to reporters before rendering his decision warranted throwing it out.
