I like direct quotes...DOJ had a great witness on the stand today! "Microsoft does not have monopoly power in the business of developing and licensing computer operating systems," Gates said "As you know, a monopolist, by definition, is a company that has the ability to restrict entry by new firms and unilaterally control price. Microsoft can do neither," Gates said. "It is preposterous to think that any one company could ever control access to the Internet," he said. nt.excite.com
