Key Ruling In Microsoft Trial Expected Friday November 5 7:59 AM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A key ruling was expected in Microsoft Corp (Nasdaq:MSFT - news).'s landmark anti-trust trial Friday, sources familiar with the case said. U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson had said he would release a ruling on a Friday at 6:30 PM in the 'findings of fact' on the case, and those familiar with the situation said the court has said it would be ready Friday. The ruling would be the first of at least two that Jackson was due to make in the case, in which the U.S. Justice Department and 19 states have alleged that Microsoft illegally abused monopoly power in the software operating system for personal computers. Jackson's decision was expected to explain what facts he believed were proven during 76 days of trial, which ended in June. Microsoft argued during the trial that its dominance in the operating system market did not amount to monopoly power and that, in any case, its actions have been within the law. Later this year, after further arguments following the findings of fact, Jackson was due to issue another ruling. In that ruling, Jackson was expected to say whether Microsoft violated antitrust law and has liability for doing so.
