Taxman, that's the most encouraging words you've ever spoken... Here's some more news: Microsoft To Continue Fighting Case SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp (Nasdaq:MSFT - news). disagrees with many of the judicial findings issued Friday in its government antitrust lawsuit and will continue to vigorously fight the case, a spokesman for the software giant said Friday. ``We will continue to vigorously contest the issues of this case in court, but at the same time we will continue to look for ways to resolve these issues in a fair and responsible manner,' spokesman Jim Cullinan told Reuters. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and other top executives were expected to respond to the findings in detail at a news conference scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST. In a videotaped statement, Gates expressed optimism that the two sides could come to a settlement before the judge issues a final decision and order, expected early next year. Cullinan said U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's initial ruling included some findings favorable to Microsoft, including an acknowledgment that the Redmond, Wash.-based giant accelerated development of the Internet. ``While we disagree with many of these findings, we're still confident that the law supports us on these points and that the American legal system will ultimately rule that Microsoft's actions were fair, legal and good for consumers,' Cullinan said.
