Excellent article John, thanks. "What the government did was basically trial by snippet in the court of public opinion," says Murray." What the DOJ is going to find out is that it's not against the law to make spirited competitive statements, particularly during sales meetings. Did freedom of speech disappear with respect to Microsoft making competitive statements? Evidently the DOJ expects us to be "alarmed" that Microsoft sales executives and even Bill Gates said things like "we need to make IE better than Navigator". I say, get a grip. If that is illegal, then America has descended into some sort of communist hell.
