Justices decline a direct appeal in Microsoft case; lower court will rule; Supreme Court action seen as a victory for the company in its antitrust battle

Article Abstract:

The Supreme Court has returned Microsoft's antitrust case to the U.S. Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit, which may be more responsive to the company's defenses. Company chief Steven Ballmer and his colleagues were very happy with the Supreme Court's 3-sentence order. The Justice Department was hoping to speed the process, by-passing the lower court, which would probably have seen a decision during this administration. A new administration could even drop the antitrust suit altogether.
