Microsoft rejects argument against appeal
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Wednesday slammed the government's argument that the Supreme Court should reject the company's request for appeal. In its legal brief, Microsoft countered eight points made by government lawyers in a 26-page document filed almost two weeks ago. But Bob Lande, an antitrust professor with University of Baltimore School of Law, said he would be shocked if the Supreme Court accepted Microsoft's request for appeal.
Microsoft and the government also are scheduled to file a joint status report with U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly on Friday. It is unclear whether that filing might be delayed because of the national tragedy.
