Has Gates' combativeness hurt Microsoft in court case?

After a brief retreat to the antitrust sidelines, Bill Gates is back -
the combative, hard-line, pull-no-punches Gates. And that's not
necessarily a good thing for the world's largest software company.

Here he is on prime-time TV, days after a federal judge ruled that
Microsoft had broken antitrust law, defending the role of
technological innovation. There he is on the phone with a reporter,
complaining that splitting Office software from Windows would
harm consumers.

Then, after the April 29 release of the Justice Department's
proposal for the breakup, comes a classic Gates slam: The
proposal, he said, "was not developed by anyone who knows
anything about the software business."

Just four months after he stepped aside as Microsoft's chief
executive officer, prompting speculation it was partly to appease
the Justice Department, Gates is back in the adversarial role that
may have dug Microsoft's regulatory hole deeper in the first place.
