...defense of divide-and-conquer tactics by showing that AOL and Netscape appeared to be up to the same thing -- just months after an alleged share-the-market meeting between Netscape and Microsoft. Cited: An internal AOL document describing a multimillion-dollar offer to Netscape to license its browser software and "create a vision to compete with Microsoft" -- in exchange for Netscape's staying out of AOL's online service business...

After Netscape's infamous June 1995 meeting with the tough-talking software titan and his cohorts, "I expected to find a bloody computer monitor in my bed," the browser whiz kid told Justice Department lawyers. But as the Microsoft antitrust trial enters its third day, Redmond attorneys continue to argue that brutal mafia-speak is no vice in the cuttthroat software industry.
