MSFT Internal Memo--MSFT lawyer says case going MSFT's way. quote.bloomberg.com Microsoft Lawyer Optimistic About Antitrust Case, NYT Reports New York, March 11 (Bloomberg) -- David Heiner, a senior Microsoft attorney, says the government's antitrust trial is going the company's way and that it will prevail, according to an internal memo Heiner wrote to top Microsoft executives last week, the New York Times reported. Heiner, in a document leaked by a Microsoft employee, said he believes the government's claims that Microsoft stifled competition cannot be sustained. The memo also said the government had not proven anything and that Microsoft's legal team view the government as ''profoundly anti-consumer,'' the newspaper said. Speculation about a possible settlement in the five-month- old antitrust trial was quelled Tuesday when Microsoft and government attorneys indicated they were waiting for the other side to make the first move toward a compromise.
