OT Liberals on this thread beware, Ken Starr now on the prowl in the tech world... Regards, John <ggg> Microsoft rivals hire Ken Starr By Reuters Special to CNET News.com January 12, 2001, 7:40 a.m. PT WASHINGTON--An industry trade group representing rivals of Microsoft said on Friday it had hired former Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr to help support the government as the antitrust case against the software giant moves through the appeals process. Starr, whose credentials include a stint on the U.S. Court of Appeals that is hearing the case, has been engaged by Procomp, an organization that includes AOL Time Warner, Sun Microsystems and Oracle. Last year, District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson found that Microsoft broke antitrust laws and said it should be broken in two to prevent future antitrust violations. Jackson suspended his June 2000 order pending appeals. Starr and Walter Dellinger, another former solicitor general at the U.S. Justice Department hired separately by AOL,have helped write a friend-of-the-court brief backing the trial court's breakup order. The Justice Department and the states that brought the case are also due to file a brief on Friday urging the appeals court to reject Microsoft's objections to Jackson's findings.
