IAN HOPPER, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Four pro-Microsoft groups can jointly file two legal briefs in support of the company, while Microsoft's opponents - most of them market competitors - can file one brief, an appeals court decided Friday. In the case of the software giant's breakup, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia decided that a total of 11 parties can file six briefs either in support of Microsoft or the government. A Nov. 27 deadline was set for the first two briefs from the parties who hope the court will overturn the June decision ordering Microsoft's breakup. Microsoft's opponents, including ProComp - created by major companies such as Sun Microsystems and Oracle - and America Online have a deadline of Jan. 12 to file a single brief. The decision represents a small victory for Microsoft, which has argued that its competitors should only be able to file the single brief between them.
