Attorneys. Report: MS Foes
<http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,51596,00.html> Bribed
Attorneys. A Washington Post columnist claims state attorneys general
were bribed by Oracle and Sun, et al., to keep the antitrust case alive.
This and more from Washington bureau chief Declan McCullagh's notebook.
[Wired News <http://www.wired.com/> ] [MyFreePress.com

This is actually well-known among many except the general public. This
whole "case" has been funded by Oracle and Sun and is purely based on
jealousy. What kind of country do we live in that allows this? Is this
(and their conspiring with Netscape and Gary Reeback) not a gross
illegal act? A true Anti-Sherman violation. I say 100% yes. This should
outrage every single software developer. Write your congressional
delegation. Not only should the lawsuit be dropped but these companies
should be prosecuted.
Also, lets see if we *ever* see this story on SlashDot which is
super-quick to report every slight perceived Microsoft negative and
didn't even have a single story on the VS.NET launch, which was sent in
by over a dozen people I know.
