MS judge may want changes in antitrust deal

Microsoft antitrust judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly may be on the point of kicking over the whole proposed Microsoft-DoJ settlement. And who knows, it might even be deliberate. Yesterday she issued an order instructing the dissenting states and Microsoft to be ready to answer questions about how their proposals could be modified, if necessary.

What this suggests rather depends on the angle you're looking from. From the point of view of Microsoft the settlement it and the DoJ are proposing could indeed be modified, but we've seen such modifications before, and it seems inescapable that the only changes that would be acceptable to Microsoft are minor clarifications that go nowhere towards satisfying the objectors.
