The Microsoft files: shifting alliances, cutthroat deals by Seattle Times staff Finally, it was Netscape Communications technical guru Marc Andreessen's turn to tell, under oath, his version of a fateful June 21, 1995, meeting with Microsoft. Was it a friendly attempt to develop a strategic partnership? Or was it an illegal attempt to divide a market? Was it both? Going into the meeting, he called the Microsoft agenda "totally (bleeping) Grade-A unreal." Testifying during a deposition last fall, he said, "I was a little bit stunned that Microsoft would be proposing this many things that were beneficial to Netscape." He came away from the meeting likening it to a visit from the mob, a view that Microsoft executives said they had no inkling was the case. "I got the feeling that I was being visited by a force that was extremely powerful in the space where I chose to operate, and that I was basically being given the terms and conditions by which an arrangement would be struck," Andreessen said. seattletimes.com
