Microsoft will have to put up with another two years of court antitrust oversight, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday. In her ruling, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly cited the length of time it has taken Microsoft to get its protocol licensing program up and running as the primary reason she is extending the consent decree, which was due to expire at the end of last year.
