The lawyer who jammed Microsoft's antitrust deal

Article Abstract:

Gary L. Reback, an attorney at Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich and Rosati, has received much attention for his role in the expanding criticism surrounding the Microsoft antitrust agreement. After receiving a copy of Stanley Sporkin's hearing on the settlement, Reback contacted numerous software firms and eventually filed an amicus brief stating the Microsoft's power was too great and needed to be reeled in by the Justice Dept. His criticisms of the original settlement have kept the issue alive.
