U.S. Wants to Extend Microsoft Oversight

By TED BRIDIS, Associated Press Writer 52 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Citing Microsoft Corp. lapses under a landmark antitrust settlement, the Justice Department said Friday it wants to extend by two years its oversight of some of the company’s business practices until at least November 2009.

Microsoft has already agreed to the lengthier scrutiny by the Justice Department and 17 states under a proposal that still must be approved by a U.S. judge. The company has struggled with a key provision in the 2002 antitrust settlement requiring it to disclose to its competitors sensitive details about some of its software.

Government lawyers said they were prepared to extend oversight of Microsoft’s business activities through 2012 if necessary.

Why don’t they also do the same type of oversight with AOL.
AOL has it’s hands in more things than MS ever will and it’s harder
to remove from the system than IE. ;D ;D
