Former Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork, who has been hired by Netscape to
lobby the Justice Department in favor of antitrust action against Microsoft
says, "Only a knee-jerk conservative would say there's never a case for
antitrust.  A monopolization case ought to be a rare thing, and this is one
of those rare cases."  Bork points out that Microsoft's documents "display a
clear intent to monopolize, to prevent any competition from springing up.
And they have used a variety of restrictive practices to prevent that kind
of competition."  Meanwhile, a legal consultant to Microsoft says that
recent claims against the company "don't stand up to scrutiny."  (Los
Angeles Times 27 Apr 98)
