...monopoly power, the feds are focusing on a well-known August 1995 confab between Gates and Grove at Intel's campus. The Microsoft CEO was "livid" about certain software developments at the Intel Architecture Lab (IAL), according to an internal memo; the thought of the chipmaker meddling in multimedia and Java programs that would conflict with Microsoft's Windows ambitions for the Net apparently stuck in his craw.
