blankmind, Here are 2 different reports on the trial. Both show MSFT witness did well in the face of tough questions from Jackson. I knew there was testimony that was not showing up in the news. Well it finally hit the newswires at last.

I think the government has a good case against Microsoft, although I think they hurt their competition more than consumers. Companies like DELL and Compaq are simply too scared to confront Microsoft directly, especially when the real victims are other software companies like Netscape and Novell. In any case, I think shareholders have other things to worry about like the fact that Joe Six Pack doesn't really care what software runs on his sub $400 PC, and the fact that Microsoft's bottom line will suffer if they want to compete with Linux, which is identical to Windows to the untrained eye.
