Speaking last Wednesday at a quarterly status conference, US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly slammed Microsoft for delays in implementing the provisions of its US antitrust settlement.
The project to assist rival companies in creating Windows compatible products, known as Troika, is now reportedly running nine months behind schedule, and is not set to be completed until October 2006.
"This needs to get done," Judge Kollar-Kotelly told Microsoft representatives, adding:
"If it's a question of resources, put them in."
Thw judge also criticized a short-lived proposal which would have resulted in the shipping of only Windows Media Player software with certain digital music players, observing that the suggestion, even though it was abandoned just ten days later, represented "a chink in the compliance process".
Another status conference is set to take place on November 30.
