Hi Thure- I heard the Audio on NPR weekend news but so far haven't seen one in its natural beauty. Sounds like a big difference from Bill's deposition video. COO Herbold says polls show 85% of the public is in favor of Microsoft and it's products so it sounds like overkill to reach the other 15%. Won't get me though. I think that Judge Jackson's final decision will divest Explorer into an separate company and bar Microsoft from the Browser business for a number of years. Real Justice. Harvey

Gates Appears in Microsoft Television Ad nytimes.com Funny thing, Thure, I hardly watch TV at all, but I happened to catch Bill's excellent appeal to the masses on Friday morning, on the 5 minutes of morning news show I saw for the week, and then, popping over to check the news from the good gray Times, this article came up. The 30-second commercial does not directly mention the case brought by the Justice Department and 19 states, in which a federal judge this week found Microsoft to have violated antitrust laws through predatory behavior. But Greg Shaw, a company spokesman, said that "as Microsoft is figuring in the news and in public discussion, we thought it was a good time for our founder to get out and tell people what the company is about." It is not Mr. Gates's first video appearance in connection with the case: excerpts from a Gates deposition taped over more than 20 hours were presented by the government at the antitrust trial. The new commercial is the first time Mr. Gates has been used on television in his own company's advertising. My main impression was that Bill's looking ever more well fed these days. Cheers, Dan.
