Hubris - Microsoft style
www5.zdnet.com
The U.S. district judge on Jan. 13 is expected to decide whether Bill Gates' crew will be held in contempt for the way in which it has tried to comply with the temporary injunction he issued Dec. 11. Needless to say, almost no one except Microsoft thinks the company has put forward a good faith effort to comply. As seems to be its hallmark, Microsoft appears to have tried to be too smart by half, playing games with the judge's order. No one believes that providing old versions of Windows or broken ones amounts to compliance. It's arrogance, defiance or both.

And, the theory goes, even Microsoft is in over its head, if it tries to defy the court. It almost seems Gates is bent on turning a persecution complex into an execution.
