The pre-trial hearing between Microsoft and the US Department of Justice (DoJ) is set to begin in Washington this afternoon.
The district court judge presiding over the case set today's date in an attempt to stop bickering over the release of the source code for Windows 95 and Windows 98.
The DoJ requested that this code be handed over to the court as evidence in the antitrust case. It had also requested that Microsoft president and chief executive, Bill Gates, make himself available for two days of questioning rather than the eight hours previously agreed upon.
The DoJ's court filing said: "Mr Gates has personal knowledge about every aspect of this matter, which cannot be obtained through other sources."
However, Microsoft claimed eight hours is a "perfectly reasonable period of time".
