This taken from interactive.wsj.com (subscription required): Microsoft Seeks Allies To Halt Antitrust Move .... But the effort is troubling some computer makers, who say privately that they are uncomfortable with being solicited to support the Redmond, Wash., software giant at a time when they have been compelled to testify about its business practices to Mr. Klein's investigators and to state antitrust officials who are also investigating the company. While some computer makers say they feel anger and resentment toward Microsoft, few are expected to turn down its request, because they must have Windows. And that is exactly what troubles Microsoft's critics. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) said that while he needed to know more about the company's effort, "I find it troubling if they are in fact exploiting their market leverage over potential witnesses who are dependent on Microsoft to induce their participation in a public-relations campaign seemingly aimed at undermining law-enforcement efforts."
