Microsoft is ready to ask a judge on Thursday to suspend penalties imposed on it for violating antitrust law by using the monopoly of its Windows operating system to hurt competitors. The hearing was set to begin at 9:30 a.m. Court of First Instance President Bo Vesterdorf will hear two or three days of arguments before deciding whether to suspend the remedies. They would remain on hold until the case is completed years from now.
