Microsoft, DOJ at odds on trial proceedings
C|Net | at | by Mike
Government trustbusters and Microsoft failed to reach a consensus on how the landmark antitrust case should proceed before a new judge. The Justice Department, 18 states and Microsoft on Thursday filed a joint status report with U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly at her request. In some ways, the legal filing demonstrates just how far apart the two sides remain. While Microsoft and trustbusters agreed on some issues, most related to legal or filing procedures and not to substantive scheduling or discovery. The two sides could not come to an agreement on a proposed schedule.
