Bork weights in on the Govmt side of MSFT case in todays WSJ editorial page. I'd post it but it would just encourage the other side. I really don't understand Bork (and not just on this issue). Now I'm kind of glad he got Borked.

But U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson granted Microsoft's motion to have the state and federal lawsuits combined. There's a good plan...saves us all the grief of dragging things out forever and ever...now it will just be forever. Government and state lawyers were jubilant over the early trial date. ''This date can provide a victory for consumers a lot quicker than anybody contemplated,'' I think they mean Netscape...not consumers. Microsoft said it needed the extra time to conduct interviews with potential witnesses to counter material that the Justice Department and the states had been gathering. I'M AVAILABLE!! ''If they get their way, they'll be selling Windows 99 while we're still litigating over Windows 98,'' a department official told Reuters on Thursday. Well it is 98-1/2 already...99 autos come out in September...hmmm Win99 makes perfect sense.
