A day before Microsoft and the Justice Department were to seek final approval of the settlement, U.S. District Judge Stanley Sporkin in Washington said he will ask the two sides to explain why certain business practices were left out of the agreement. Sporkin said he wanted to know why Microsoft wasn’t re quired to establish a barrier between the development of operating software, which runs the basic functions of a personal computer, and appli cations software, which in cludes word processing and spreadsheet programs. Microsoft critics said it gave its own applications program mers access to operating soft ware improvements before sharing them with other com panies, a key advantage that helped Microsoft attain unpar alleled strength.

Sporkin questioned why the Justice Department created no system to monitor Microsoft’s compliance with the agree ment, which requires changes in incentives Microsoft gave personal computer makers to install its software. The judge said he also wanted to know why the settlement shouldn’t have a provision that bans Microsoft from misleading statements about products in de velopment, a marketing practice known as “vaporware” that tends to prevent potential com petitors from entering a market. Sporkin also wanted to know why Microsoft wasn’t re quired to disclose codes that give it an advantage over oth er software companies in cre ating word processing and oth er applications software. Microsoft spokesman Greg Shaw said the company will be able to address the issues raised by Sporkin. “We’re hopeful the judge will grant this,” he said. The Justice Department had no immediate comment. If the settlement is rejected, Sporkin could order the Justice Department and Microsoft to try again.
