Ruling put off on Microsoft

Mercury News Staff Report

The judge in the Microsoft Corp. antitrust trial will withhold his
decision on whether the software giant violated antitrust laws until at
least next week.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson is giving his appointed
mediator, U.S. Appeals Judge Richard Posner, more time to broker
a settlement between Microsoft and the government that would end
the 18-month-long trial.

People with ties to the case say a settlement remains unlikely.

Those people said Jackson will check in with all parties in the case on Thursday, April 6, to see if any
progress has been made. If he decides no settlement is in the offing, Jackson will likely release his
opinion on a Friday evening after the stock market has closed.
