Supreme Court to Review Microsoft Appeal

WinInfo | at | by Mike

The US Supreme Court will meet this Friday and begin discussing the Microsoft antitrust case for the first time. Two months ago, Microsoft petitioned the high court to hear its appeal, an action that would see its legal battle move out of the US District Court for the District of Columbia if accepted. Nine of the Supreme Court justices will review a number of cases Friday, including Microsoft's, and a decision is expected fairly quickly. If the justices do vote on Microsoft's fate Friday, the earliest possible notification of their decision would occur Monday.
