I remember watching the anti-trust tapes of Bill G's deposition.
The prosecution was absolutely clueless about the technology in question, to the extreme point of trying to link Windows "shortcuts" to some type of anti-competitive behavior.
With a large organization such as Microsoft, you will generate a lot of "dots" (random internal memos/conversation and other other points) that will then be further connected by "lines" (in the court room), and your guilt will be obvious.
I'm not saying that Microsoft did not engage in anti-competitive behavior, but just that the courtroom is the last place you will find the truth.
- Peaker 15y agoI thought Microsoft required OEMs to place shortcuts to its pre-installed software while disallowing them to install shortcuts to competitors' software. Is this what you're talking about? If it is, don't you think it is indeed an anti-competitive practice?
