Witness for U.S. gives on question from Microsoft
(adds comments by judge, government lawyer, paras 9-13)

By David Lawsky

WASHINGTON, June 3 (Reuters) -

'If they're at 22 percent and 24 percent, I think this (Barksdale's testimony) is an exaggeration,'' Fisher conceded.

A central government allegation is that Microsoft abused its monopoly power by foreclosing competition with Netscape Communications in a bitter battle for control of the market for Web browsers, the software used to surf the Internet.

In the afternoon, government lawyer David Boies began his re-examination of Fisher. But as the day ended, Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson said he wanted to know more about the documents prepared by AOL and Goldman Sachs for the purchase. He said the document contained ''very interesting information.''

The documents also contain many figures that, like the numbers used by Lacovara, cast doubt on the government's case.
