The judge examining whether or not to suspend sanctions in the European Union's antitrust ruling against Microsoft has called a meeting to determine how the case should proceed following the withdrawal of two of its major participants.

The meeting, called by Judge Bo Vesterdorf of the Court of First Instance in Luxembourg, will be held Thursday, said Bruce Lowry, a spokesman with Novell, one of the companies that has withdrawn from the case. "The judge called a meeting and invited all parties to the EU action to attend in order to discuss procedural matters having to do with the withdrawal of the CCIA and Novell," he said.
