11:59 DJS Ellison Blasts Microsoft Chief Gates' Argument As A 'Big Lie' 11:59 DJS Ellison Blasts Microsoft Chief Gates' Argument As A 'Big Lie' NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Speaking at a technology conference in Virginia Wednesday, Oracle Corp. Chief Executive Officer Larry Ellison again took shots at Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates, the Washington Times reported Thursday. Ellison called Gates' argument. that the government should leave Microsoft alone in order to preserve software innovation, "the big lie theory," the Times said. "It's one of the most outrageous statements I've ever heard," Ellison said, while criticizing a federal appeals court's decision earlier this week to overturn an injunction against Microsoft. The three-judge panel reversed last year's ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson that forced Microsoft to offer its Internet Explorer software and Windows 95 operating system separately. The ruling gave the company powerful ammunition to fight a much broader antitrust case filed by the Justice Department last month. (The full text of this story is available in Dow Jones Interactive.
