Update: Supreme Court rebuffs Microsoft appeal | Computerworld News & Features Story

In a widely expected move, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Microsoft Corp.'s appeal to overturn a lower court's ruling that the software behemoth violated antitrust laws, a Microsoft spokesman confirmed today.

"We understood that very few cases are granted for review by the Supreme Court, and we were disappointed that ours wasn't one of the very few," said Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler.


The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in July of this year upheld a lower court ruling last June that Microsoft violated antitrust rules by holding a monopoly in the PC operating systems market.
