The federal judge considering what antitrust sanctions should apply against Microsoft Corp. expressed grave doubts on Friday about the enforcement mechanism proposed by nine states. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly criticized as "odd" and "unusual" the states' proposal that would direct future complaints against Microsoft to a court-appointed "special master," rather than the U.S. Justice Department.
Obviously I have some concerns about it, as to how it would work," Kollar-Kotelly said after bombarding a states' attorney with critical questions about the plan.
