It seems the two sides are no longer pre-posting prepared testimony, so I haven't read Eubanks' actual testimony, but the summary looks interesting. If you know where I can see a good summary of the Eubanks testimony, or even the testimony itself, please post. microsoft.com The thing that is interesting about the summary, I don't know about the actual testimony, is the heavier emphasis on developer needs vs. end-user needs. Seems to me the government pretty well demolished the end-user side of Microsoft's Sacred Court of Appeals Decision defense in the case in chief. What really kills me is that they are actually going to call Schmalensee back. Not only are they calling him back, but he's going to be their closing witness -- to leave that all-important last impression with the judge. The Wall Street Journal sums it up pretty well when it pans his testimony from the case in chief and points out that Schmalensee will be back for "more lumps" on Monday. interactive.wsj.com The article pretty well sums up how the defense has gone so far when it says: Microsoft has treated consumers, lawmakers and the media -- for everybody is watching this case, if only for the spectacle -- to a truly impressive parade of ridiculous screw-ups. Its CEO offers surly chop logic in depositions. Its witnesses find themselves strung up by their own e-mail messages or confronted with their own academic work. Videotaped demonstrations are ponied up by people who seem not to be aware that lawyers and experts will look at every pixel and every frame. Astroturf-roots op-ed campaigns and clumsily leaked e-mails are laid bare. And every time it happens, the government makes hay. As you might imagine, I've pretty much given up hope for these people. The government didn't win this case, Microsoft lost it.
