If something financially damaging actually occurred law suits would have been raining on MSFT a while ago. I fear you're missing the whole point of the testimony. Several boxmakers have claimed for years that Microsoft used unfair licensing practices, but have never been willing to say anything because they had no choice but to do business with Microsoft. IBM is now willing to stand in court and make the claim that's long been the whispered basis of the ongoing investigations of Microsoft. Here, by the way is the witness list: news.com Microsoft is betting it all on the AOL/Netscape deal. They will call Gordon Eubanks, once of Symantic; MIT's Richard Shmalensee (the prof who did none too well in cross examination at his first appearance, but who will be talking about AOL/Netscape this time); and AOL's David Coburn as a hostile witness. DOJ will call IBM's Garry Norris, Princeton's Edward Felton (who created the IE-removal program that was the subject of the notorious video tape); and Franklin Fischer of MIT's Sloan School.
