Judge compliments Microsoft
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft is moving more quickly to develop tools competitors can use to create software that runs smoothly on the Windows operating system, a judge overseeing the 2001 antitrust settlement with the Bush administration said.
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who in October questioned the pace of Microsoft's efforts to fulfill a key component of the settlement, praised the company at a hearing Wednesday in Washington for its more "proactive" approach to compliance.
"I'm pleased at the renewed vigor" Microsoft has shown, she said. "We seem to be at least back on track."
