DOJ wants Microsoft antitrust oversight extended into 2011

The US Department of Justice has asked for yet another extension to the judicial oversight of Microsoft’s antitrust compliance in order to give the company more time to update its technical documentation. The original judgment had already been extended once to late 2009, but now the DOJ wants it extended again for another 18 months. The sanctions on Microsoft, which were agreed to in 2002 and originally set to expire in November 2007, are aimed at preventing the company from retaliating against hardware vendors that ship computers with alternatives to Microsoft’s software products.
