Reuters/Yahoo: Microsoft rivals hire Starr of Whitewater fame

"An industry trade group representing rivals of Microsoft Corp. said on Friday it had hired former Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr to help support the government as the antitrust case against the software giant moves through the appeals process."

"Starr, whose credentials include a stint on the U.S. Court of Appeals that is hearing the case, has been engaged by Procomp, an organization that includes AOL Time Warner, Sun Microsystems Inc. and Oracle Corp...."

"Starr, who continued a probe into President Clinton's investment in a failed Arkansas land deal called Whitewater, is best known for his dogged pursuit of Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. He stepped down as Whitewater prosecutor in 1999."
