The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected Microsoft's request to hear an appeal of its antitrust case. The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant had appealed not on the merits of the case but because of comments that U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson had made to the media. "We're disappointed that our petition is not one of the few the Supreme Court chose to review this term," said Microsoft spokesman Vivek Varma. "We will continue to move forward with the case at the District (Court) level and comply with the court's order to work in good faith with the government to settle the case.
