It seems Jerry was unusually open about how he needed Microsoft's support for Hammer. The theory is being tossed around on the Mod thread that Jerry wanted to derail a possible collusion effort between Intel and Microsoft. So he purposely "neglects" to read the states' proposals, and he proceeds to use the trial as a forum for exposing the supposed collusion.
Personally, I don't see the wisdom behind this move, if Jerry really had such a motive. Didn't he just piss off Bill Gates, thereby hurting Jerry's chances of ever getting Microsoft to support Hammer?

I don't think that Bill Gates can announce support of Hammer now, even if he wanted to. It would make it look like Bill bought Jerry's testimony with Windows support, and would certainly damage Microsoft's case.

There may be support of Hammer in Microsoft's next OS, but by the time Bill determines that the fires have burned out low enough to announce it, Madison will have already come and gone, and AMD could be a very small spec in the rear view mirror...... IMO
