...seem farfetched, but that's precisely what Microsoft charged. On Day Two of the trial, lead Microsoft lawyer John Warden accused Boies of trying to "demonize Bill Gates" and of casting Microsoft as "the great Satan." Bill Gates as Beelzebub is actually a familiar trope in computerland. The Internet is filled with discussion groups debating whether Gates is the devil and Microsoft the Evil Empire. Search the Web for sites that pair the words Gates and Satan, and you'll turn up tens of thousands of hits. Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig was a court-appointed monitor in an earlier...
...that a market division proposal?" Microsoft attorney John Warden asked AOL senior vice president David Colburn in court. "What it seemed to me to be was a strategic partnership," hedged Colburn, who then backed up the government's case by testifying that in 1996, AOL chose Microsoft's browser over Netscape's because of its vast distribution on the Windows desktop. Oh, yeah --and rather than being paid for its software, Microsoft paid AOL $500,000 to distribute its browser. It was a deal that AOL couldn't refuse...

Poor old Apple, meanwhile, claimed rougher treatment at Redmond's hands before its own Explorer deal: Microsoft "threatened to abandon the Mac," according to a memo from Apple CFO Fred Anderson unveiled in court Tuesday. All in all, it's not the best prologue Microsoft could have hoped for in advance of Bill Gates's taped testimony -- which will be shown...
...tough day in antitrust court. The worst blow came when the feds displayed a mail from Dan Rosen -? who represented Microsoft at that crucial June 1995 meeting with Netscape. His priority, Rosen wrote, was to "establish Microsoft ownership of the Internet client platform for Windows 95." Microsoft lawyer John Warden had said Netscape must have "imagined" such an offer. Then again, Warden also claims the entire meeting was a sting concocted by the DOJ. "Any time a defendant says 'We were set up,'" said the government's lead attorney, David Boies, "I think that tells you how a trial...
Other prohibitions to keep in mind are: 1) no machine guns are allowed, at least not until Ted Nugent becomes Game Warden, and 2) no personal helicopters or other vehicles can be used to pursue game, as counter-intuitive and oppressive as this law may sound. Licenses and permits are valid from January 1st to December 31st, and are issued by most city clerks, Division offices and outlets, although one doesn't often witness Christy's doling out trout stamps with lottery tickets. And, due to age limits, the pint-sized Harvard Square drummer won't have a chance...
