            A Federal Judge has ruled that a speedy settlement be reached in regards to the Microsoft antitrust case resumes in District Court. The judge's decision is a direct result of the September 11th terrorist attacks. "In light of the recent tragic events affecting our nation, this court regards the benefit which will be derived from a quick resolution of these cases as increasingly significant," Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said in an order Friday. In a hearing earlier in the day, she told the parties to negotiate "seven days a week, around the clock.".
             A government official has been reported that the need for national unity and the downturn of the economy has created an element that is involved in this decision. Although these attacks have spawned some sense of unification, the same official has stated "Still, there remain deep and significant differences to be bridged for a settlement to occur." All other efforts to settle this case have failed. .
             A June 28th Appeals-Court ruling eliminated some of the legal process and offered a structure within which to proceed, either in settlement efforts or in new hearings. The desired outcome will remedy Microsoft's stranglehold on the software industry with the Windows Operating system.
             A tentative trial date has been set for March 11th, if the two opposing sides fail to reach an agreement. The government would be required to outline its proposed remedy by Dec. 7; Microsoft would counter with its proposal 10 days later, under this schedule.
             Microsoft's claimed that the remedy must only address the specific conduct found to be illegal by the appeals court. The Judge has rejected that claim. District Judges hold permission from the Supreme Court to do whatever is necessary to restore competition to corporations and prevent illegal activity. The judge used this to justify her rejection of Microsoft's claim.
             Mediation may be called if the two sides cannot come to an agreement before November 2nd.
