Microsoft settlement watchers chosen

The Justice Department and Microsoft on Thursday picked two members of a three-person technical committee that will be responsible for enforcing the software giant's antitrust settlement. In a motion filed with U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, the Justice Department and nine states--Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin--requested that industry veteran Harry Saal be appointed to the committee. Microsoft requested the appointment of Franklin Fite, a former employee. In a four-page memorandum accompanying the request, the Justice Department made its case for why Kollar-Kotelly should appoint both men to the technical committee.
