Reggie, in days past I would have been offended by this post. But having participated more than I should have in the local cesspools that pass for political debate forums here, I find it relatively tame. I have to compliment you in the extensive schooling you've given me in cheesy high school debate tricks, though. I never fully appreciated your relative politeness.In a statement today, Microsoft contended that "Warren-Boulton's testimony is clearly that of an ivory tower consultant with little or no direct experience in the day-to-day business and competitiveness of the U.S. software industry." Warren-Boulton has held a number of prominent academic and political positions. But perhaps most interesting for someone arguing for antitrust enforcement against Microsoft is that he was chief economist for the antitrust division of the Justice Department during the Reagan Administration, when the Government chose to pursue few antitrust cases.
