Nine states pursuing the antitrust case against Microsoft Corp. suffered a setback in court on Wednesday, when the judge rejected a request to freely introduce transcripts and video of interviews with 18 Microsoft officials, including Chairman Bill Gates. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said the nine states, who are seeking stiff sanctions against Microsoft, should have made their request earlier under a timetable she issued before the hearings began.
