Judge OKs Most Microsoft Provisions biz.yahoo.com Associated Press Friday November 1, 4:27 pm ET Judge OKs Most Provisions of Antitrust Settlement Between Microsoft, Justice Department WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal judge on Friday approved most of the provisions of an antitrust settlement between Microsoft Corp. and the Justice Department, largely setting aside concerns by some states that the sanctions were too light on the software giant. The sanctions are to last for at least five years unless extended by the court, the judge said. The approved settlement requires Microsoft to disclose some sensitive technology to its rivals months earlier than the company and the Justice Department had proposed. "The court is satisfied that the parties have reached a settlement which comports with the public interest," U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly wrote. Microsoft said it was reviewing the decision. "The issues in this case are significant, not only for Microsoft but for the industry and consumers," spokesman Vivek Varma said. "We are committed to resolving these issues in a constructive way so that we can focus on long-term growth and innovation for consumers." -------------- P
