...legal strategy in the antitrust case seems to consist largely of proving AOL's worth as a once and future competitor in just about every digital arena. At a deposition two weeks ago, Microsoft put AOL's Steve Case on the rack over his business plans. Now AOL exec David Colburn will be called as a hostile witness.
