BeardedOne: You don't get it when the court asks for materials they mean all materials not just the ones that buttress your case. Leaving out these damning documents is literally contemptible. JFD

Blast from the past--- Thomas Reardon slip of the tongue: From usdoj.gov Note: last week, Rearden wanted me to believe Microsoft was capitulating the server market - they weren't even pursuing it since Netscape would own that, even after Microsoft completely takes over the browser market in August. Now he accidentally refers to his server push - I think they foresee an NT explosion with a turnkey website product, RSN, and it's their Big Secret.

More fun from the DOJ: usdoj.gov internal Netscape email from John Freeborg: "I'm on Microsoft's ISP mailing list - I made up a company awhile back and gave them my home address. I received on Friday a packet which touts "The Microsoft ISDN Accelerator Pack is available to distribute royalty-free." All the ISP has to do is sign and return the form. Licensing the ISDN accelerator pack requires the ISP to also use IE as the "preferred web browser", issue a press release announcing the licensing, use the IE logo all over, etc. This is exactly the same code we tried to license back in April and were told flat out "no" unless we were an ISDN modem manufacturer! -- John

Do I get this right? The only material that supports government's allegation is Andresson's notes about meeting, right? Is this only one-side of story? I don't think MSFT was trying to prove that "not all of their meeting with Netscape were threatening", but to show that, just before that meeting, two companies were in good mood to cooperate and Netscape even invited MSFT to investment. Suddenly there were those "threaten" words all over the place. The logic explaination is either Andresson made it up himself or the whole things were a setup.
