DOJ asks judge to send MS case to high court

The Justice Department is asking the judge who ordered the breakup of Microsoft Corp. (msft) to send the case to the U.S. Supreme Court for immediate review. The government's action followed on the heels of Microsoft's appeal filing Tuesday. In a statement, the DOJ said it was in the public interest for the high court to review the case because of Microsoft's importance to the U.S. economy. The company wants the case to go before the Court of Appeals first. Full story. -- Charles Cooper, ZDNet News
