Trial papers to be public WASHINGTON -- A federal appeals court has ordered the public release of the depositions taken for the Microsoft antitrust trial, opening a trove of information about the software giant and the computer industry. Lawyers for both sides gathered pretrial testimony from at least 50 people -- an exact count was not available Friday -- including such Silicon Valley notables as Netscape co-founders Jim Clark and Marc Andreessen as well as executives at computer manufacturers Hewlett-Packard Co. and Network Computer Inc. and software maker Santa Cruz Operation Inc. Little of that material has found its way into the trial -- with the notable exception of eight hours of videotaped excerpts of Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. The court's order would also open the full Gates deposition, which lasted 22 hours over three days. All the material must be reviewed to see if it contains confidential company trade secrets, so any public release is weeks away, possibly longer if Microsoft appeals. mercurycenter.com
