SJ Mercury Coverage of Intel Exec Testimony. >Unlike other witnesses, Intel refused to submit its executive's testimony in writing -- a part of the this proceeding's accelerated process -- so the government's lead attorney had to elicit that testimony in a traditional manner by questioning McGeady in the courtroom. Some insiders said the government might ask Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson to treat McGeady as a hostile witness. But McGeady turned out to be anything but hostile, cheerfully explaining that Gates did not want Intel working on any sort of software. At a meeting between top executives of both companies on August 2, 1995, Intel discussed its software efforts and Gates was not pleased, said McGeady. "He became quite enraged.''< >McGeady explained that Intel was interested in Java because it actually ran slowly compared with other technologies. Intel executives thought that if Java became widely used, consumers would buy faster computers to bring Java's performance up to acceptable levels. ""That's good for us,'' McGeady said to laughter in the courtroom.< sjmercury.com All the little birdies go tweet tweet tweet. :)
