C'mon, RTev, do you really think MSFT would have let this one slip by. Give me a break. This is potential collusion and at a minimum, AOL being misleading with its presentation of evidence both in the form of testimony and in answering written depositions. I cannot believe you would even suggest this. Teflon

<o>Microsoft misses competitive threats occasionally, as they did when Clark started Netscape, but on this one, I think the MS person got it right when stating (according to today's testimony) "Platform threat - AOL doesn't have it in their genes to attack us in the platform space". I think those comments come from Bill Gates. That is, before the AOL/Netscape documents were seen by him. I bet he still would have felt the same way but would keep it out of the email. I guess they have to use any weapon they have. I feel that if AOL does sell the emachine, MSFT will get aggressive in the ISP business. They have already been mentioned in the earthlink rumors. Now i feel MSFT is just beginning to get serious about the ISP biz OR at least help their PC "partners" enter the same business to weaken AOL.
