Microsoft Corp's chief counsel, briefing reporters in the lead-up to a European Union court hearing this week, said on Monday he remains hopeful the software giant's European antitrust case can be settled.
Microsoft has challenged the European Commission's finding from March that the software giant abused its dominance of PC operating systems. But its top counsel said negotiations remain the preferred course.
The company asked the Court of First Instance in Luxembourg to suspend remedies demanded by the EU until the case is completed in years from now. These require the software giant to sell a modified version of Windows and offer additional information to rival makers of work group servers
