Do I detect a whiff of deep doodoo here?

On the tape, a narrator noted the difficulty of locating an Internet Web site consumers can use to download updated Windows software--a special feature of Windows 98. The narrator on the videotape said the version of Windows with the disabled browser "is taking a very long time" and pointed to "performance degradation" due to the browser's absence. . . .

Microsoft official Tod Nielsen said during the test, four different online connections were made to the Internet at different speeds. That test did not replicate the conditions shown on the videotaped demonstration Microsoft played in court earlier.

"Each time we connected we got a different performance," Nielsen said. "It would have been unfair to either side to compare one machine at one rate and another" machine at a different rate, Nielsen said.

Nielsen argued, though, that the Internet speed issue was not the primary part of the video demonstration, which showed that the government witness' browser-removal program "doesn't remove Internet Explorer and breaks Windows...The [Internet] performance was an additional thing that it did,'' he said.

Murray said the Internet-disabled program was unable to download new software from the Windows Web site and several software programs could not successfully be loaded onto the two machines used in the new test.

Murray had told reporters earlier the that new test "resolves once and for all any questions about the reliability of our evidence."

Jeez, inconsistent performance under Windows. I though that was all part of the integrity and uniformity thing.
