Final Claims Made in Microsoft Case Final Claims Made in Microsoft Case Paul Jones
Microsoft Corp. used its final written legal brief Friday to attack the government's broad antitrust case against it, arguing its widely used Windows software doesn't afford it monopoly power over the high-tech industry.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson had given the two sides until Friday to file their final written versions of the facts in the landmark case. The dictionary-size documents ran hundreds of pages each.
