The likelihood of a quick, negotiated settlement that was acceptable to all parties in the Microsoft antitrust case was dealt a major blow on Thursday when California Attorney General Bill Lockyer said he would continue to urge the 17 other states to take the review time they needed to fully understand every word and every implication in the proposal before they decided whether to settle.
