Microsoft seeks antitrust hearing delay
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft asked a federal judge on Friday to extend by another four months the scheduled date for a remedy hearing in its landmark antitrust trial. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly had scheduled the hearing for March 11, but Microsoft argued that because of the gravity of the remedy nine states are asking for, the company should get more preparation time. The hearing would help the judge determine what sanctions to make against Microsoft for its antitrust violations.
"The states' far-reaching proposal and broad expansion of this case made today's motion necessary," said Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler.
