I did some digging and found some old posts, including some with links to the site. I'm afraid for the most part, I forget the best links. It's worth going there anyone just to have a look-see.

These Register articles detail some of the evidence:
theregister.co.uk
theregister.co.uk
(Caldera:) theregister.co.uk
theregister.co.uk
theregister.co.uk
theregister.co.uk

Fundamentally, even without looking at the files, Microsoft's behavior in the trial is strong evidence of guilt. A lie in court is evidence of a 'guilty conscience,' otherwise, why lie? And the Microsoft executives got caught in lies all over the place.

>>>As for Microsoft's guilt - as I've stated previously, I'm not convinced that it is so clear cut.<<<

Eric,

Remember Stac Software? Remember what microsoft did to them? They sued MSFT and won. Everybody in the software industry knows that MSFT is guilty. Even MSFT knows it.
The best remedy is to bust up the company. That way, they wont be able to leverage their OS to gain an unfair advantage on applications. Also, the OS company should be barred from developing anything that is NOT OS related.
Same applies to the applications company.
Without this kind of leverage, MSFT will be forced to compete on a level playing field.
Do you know why MSFT is unable to unseat Palm? Because Palm is NOT PC based and is independent of Windows!!
