It was billed as "Market Power and Structural Change in the Software Industry," but in reality it turned out to be a police lineup, in search of the monopolist. Even his supposedly alibi, Michael Dell, pointed the finger at the monopolist. And the label stuck, the more Bill tries to shake it the more it sticks. On that fateful Tuesday March 3rd, the Senate gave the green light to the Justice bloodhounds. It is now not a matter of ifs, but when they will throw the book at him. From March 3rd hearing: (news.com) Sen. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio), chairman of the Senate Judiciary antitrust subcommittee, said he wants to ensure that every competitor has an equal chance to bring a product to market. "The promise of the Internet is breathtaking," he added. "The question is how to keep the door open to everyone." The Left Jab from Senator Hatch on March 26: (news.com) The letter addressed to Gates asks that Microsoft "provide the committee with a letter that would free Microsoft's licensees and other contractual partners to provide information to the committee without first notifying or obtaining the permission of Microsoft." Letters sent to McNealy and Barksdale included similar language. All three requests asked that the release letters be delivered to the committee no later than April 6. From The Seattle Times dated March 27: Bill Gates is making his CEO Summit an annual rite of spring. A Microsoft spokeswoman yesterday confirmed that, for the second year in a row, Gates will host the summit - a meeting of chief executives from top Microsoft customers. Last year, that list included heads of such companies as Sprint, GTE, United Airlines and Wells Fargo bank. But as Microsoft navigates an ongoing battle with the U.S. Justice Department, one conspicuous guest at last year's event will not be returning: Vice President Al Gore. No one will be attending on behalf of the Clinton administration. Microsoft does not plan to make public this year's invitation list, Carruthers said. But she said the crowd, which will come to Seattle May 27 through 29, will be about the same size as last year. With all the trouble that the President is going through, I think that he wouldn't mind if the other Bill takes on some of the negative limelight. I'll stick my neck out and predict that DOJ bloodhounds will attack between April 16 (after the tax day) and before May 27. I think that MS by trying to rain on Java parade thorough announcement of VJ++ 6.0 during Java One, will get instant karma and get their own parade rained on. Rod, would you care to make a prediction? If and when the right hook from DOJ will come?
