Uh oh. Fact error here. Orrin Hatch is after Microsoft! And hes NOT a liberal. In fact, Clinton doesnt like him.

No fact errors. Orin Hatch is a politician representing Utah, home of Word Perfect Corp. (I know, WP is owned by Corel, but the operations of WP are still in Utah, though that is ending). Robert Bork is a lawyer for NSCP. Well you know lawyers, they don't care what side they're on as long as they're getting paid.

But it is the Clinton administration's Justice Dept anti-trust division which is going after MSFT and INTC. Hey look, seriously I don't hold that against Clinton. He obviously isn't controlling the Justice Dept (though I bet he wishes he could). INTC and MSFT are extremely powerful companies, and small companies find it difficult to compete against them without feeling strong-armed (or actually getting strong-armed). I just think that Joel Kline's view on what the solution should be is way too extreme.
