Judge Colleen Kollar-Kottely has followed up her  interesting decision
that Microsoft should allow  Windows source code to be independently
reviewed  by appointing someone characterised by Microsoft  as a
professional anti-Microsoft expert witness to  review it. Which is
possibly even more interesting.

She has however denied the States' request for a  court-appointed
expert.

Professor Lee Hollaar of Utah University has been  around the block a
couple of times, and has been  allowed to look over Microsoft source
before, in  connection with the Bristol and Caldera antiturst  actions.
Microsoft roundly denounced him a while  back when he wished to file a
friends of court brief.

=======================

Whilst I'm delighted with this choice, I can't quite understand how
Judge K-K could have "denied the States' request for a court-appointed
expert" while at the same time appointing Professor Hollaar  to review
the Windows code.

What am I missing here?
