Whoa! What an "epiphany" as you say. But they knew that already on the Laughter thread--as you recall and I posted yesterday, it was Billy boy who defied God and got the user to use Windows...not even Jackson can bring us back to the Garden...we have ate of the tree of knowledge of bits and bytes...

RTev's post: <<In any case, MSFT lawyers have done a good job in the rebuttal phase, IMHO. Too bad Lacovara was not running the show in the first phase. I agree on both points. Lacovara (whose name I misspelled the other day), especially, seems to have come into his own in this phase of the trial. ] He clearly did a good job of preparing Schmalensee for testimony this time. >> Press Report: <<Schmalensee had also testified that Microsoft's Windows program was potentially under siege from a host of new programs that could run on the Web, no matter what the underlying operating system. But he acknowledged under cross-examination that he had done no study, had no projections of numbers and no knowledge about the authors or details of the programs he cited in his testimony.>> This was NOT a minor point he offered testimony on (potential viability of competitive products), yet the man himself said he had done no prior study!? Astonishing. And quite the opposite of "well prepared".
