Judge seeking more info on Microsoft

eWeek | at | by Mike

The European judge deciding whether to suspend European Union sanctions against Microsoft Corp. has told the software giant to beef up its claim that compliance with an order to share some technical information would cause it irreparable harm, a source close to the process said Thursday.

Bo Vesterdorf, the president of the Luxembourg-based Europe's Court of First Instance, asked Microsoft for more evidence to back up its contention that its intellectual property rights were under threat if forced to divulge information on its server systems, the source said on condition of anonymity.
