His parting shot: How the Microsoft-Apple deal, which made Internet Explorer the default browser on every Mac, made him feel. "It irritated the stew out of me," said Barksdale. In notes released by the Justice Department, Apple's chief financial officer says Apple was "dead" unless it made Explorer the default.
