Under Anti-Trust Clouds, Microsoft And Network Solutions Join Hands nytimes.com Ug. I went looking for an article from yesterday's op-ed page and found this instead. Aside from the unholy aliance mentioned in the headline (and rest assured, Network Solutions slides somewhere well below Microsoft on the lower form of life scale here), we have this little nugget from old Steverino: At the San Jose conference, Microsoft Executive Vice President Steve Ballmer struck a defiant attitude toward the Justice Department's actions. "I say to heck with Janet Reno," Ballmer said of the United States Attorney General, who announced the anti-trust action on Monday. Well, at least he was a little more respectful of the AG than people around here. Cheers, Dan.

It also does not matter whether Microsoft's motivation was to kill Netscape, or anyone else, as long as that motivation, and Microsoft's conduct, are not illegal.
