The opening round in the appeals phase of the Microsoft case gets under way Monday, when the company is scheduled to fire the next salvos in its battle to prevent a breakup.
In a 150-page document, the company will try to convince an appeals court to overturn a lower court ruling that would split the software giant into two parts.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson handed the Department of Justice a victory in June when he ruled a breakup was the best remedy for a company that he said had illegally leveraged its monopoly to move into other markets.
