Gates dodges tough questions news.com Doesn't much matter, of course. Congressional hearings are usually a circus, there's no reason this one should be any different. I was hoping for something new, but the same old suspect company lines were rounded up as usual. In a front-page interview run in today's Washington Post, Gates bristled at the mere mention of the word "monopoly," calling some questions "dishonest" and "unfair." Not "honest" like Bill's "Windows replaced in a day" line, or "fair" like the well known Microsoftese definition of what their fair share is. How random. On a separate query--asked no fewer than half a dozen times--Gates repeatedly dodged central issues. The line of questions concerned whether the software giant limited its content partners' ability to promote products made by Netscape Communications. Instead of answering, Gates reiterated that partners were free to develop exclusive content for Microsoft competitors. And so on. Cnet picked up the same punch line as I did, of course- "I'm not going to say anything about legal issues. I'm not an expert." Cheers, Dan.
