What do you think of Bill Gates testimony today? It sounds like he gave a very effective presentation. Here's another story on the testimony from the Seattle Times: seattletimes.com After a year of bad publicity for Microsoft, PR seems to be turning around for the company. Gates has always been the company's most effective spokesman, but runs into trouble when he puts himself in situations he can't control (like last year's testimony, his deposition, or the notorious CBS interview). This time, he's clearly on a command performance that will avoid those kinds of PR flops. This testimony won't directly affect on the trial, but it does help focus public perception more in Microsoft's favor as folks read what's sure to be a flood of articles summarizing the testimony when it adjourns next week.
