As settlement talks get underway yet again in the Microsoft antitrust case, legal experts are still doubtful about whether the company will reach a compromise with the government. Despite strong exhortations to settle from U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, Microsoft executives may still conclude they are better off holding out for a final ruling from the judge than making major concessions to the government, antitrust attorneys said in interviews this week. Microsoft's supporters said the company will probably reject any settlement that imposes regulations on the design of its software.
