Supreme High Court Rejects Microsoft Antitrust Appeal

The U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites) on Tuesday rejected Microsoft Corp.'s request to overturn an earlier ruling that the software giant violated U.S. antitrust laws.
The high court declined without any comment or dissent to review the June 28 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, leaving it for the District Court to review. That ruling, which concluded that Microsoft had illegally maintained its monopoly over the market for personal computer operating systems, is currently before the bench of U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.
