Judge Extends Deadline in Microsoft Case

WinInfo | at | by Mike

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly extended the deadline for both sides in the Microsoft antitrust case, presumably because of the recent terrorist events in the United States. Originally, both Microsoft and the US government were to have filed briefs today outlining their suggestions for the remedy phase of the trial; they now have until Tuesday. Both sides asked for an extension on Wednesday.

Despite the initial delay, the next phase--a joint status report due September 21--is still on. And, of course, Microsoft is still trying to get the attention of the Supreme Court; earlier this week, the company once again asked the higher court to bypass the Appellate Court and throw out its entire verdict.
