<< Mike, The DOJ can't have it both ways. If they are using email records, that are perhaps out of context, to prove their case that Microsoft was going to "kill Netscape", then Microsoft should be able to use email to counter them. >>

The fact that they used email, paper, telephone, or even limited discussions to rainy Thursdays has nothing to do with it, does it?

It seems fair that Microsoft can dig up some old emails, yes. What they've done though is document two completely different sides of the story:

1) Publicly announced they would have nothing to do with the Internet.
2) Kept some old email around as evidence of discussions that they would.

They now have "proof" to show they were standing on either side of the fence. This could end up being another court circus.
