The judge in the Microsoft antitrust trial on Friday formally set a schedule for the case to proceed next year for the nine states that rejected a settlement negotiated between the software giant and the Justice Department. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly set the next courtroom hearing for March 4 in that stage of the case. That proceeding will decide what sanctions, if any, the judge should impose on Microsoft, which has already been found to have violated federal competition laws.
