Microsoft loses effort to limit trial

Article Abstract:

Microsoft Corp.'s attempts to restrict the scope of evidence in its antitrust trial has been turned down by a US federal judge. The judge granted the US government's request for documentation on Microsoft's secret discussions with Apple Computer Inc., Intel Corp., and other firms. In August 1998, the Justice Department and 20 states charged the software giant with unlawfully pressuring those firms in order to protect its monopoly of operating systems software.
