United States v. Microsoft 87 F. Supp. 2d 30 (D.D.C. 2000) was a court case filed against Microsoft Corporation on May 18, 1998 by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and twenty U.S. states. Joel I. Klein was the lead prosecutor. The plaintiffs alleged that Microsoft abused monopoly power in its handling of operating system sales and web browser sales. The issue central to the case was whether Microsoft was allowed to bundle its flagship Internet Explorer (IE) web browser software with its Microsoft Windows operating system. Bundling them together is alleged to have been responsible for Microsoft's victory in the browser wars as every Windows user had a copy of Internet Explorer. It was further alleged that this unfairly restricted the market for competing web browsers (such as Netscape Navigator) that were slow to download over a modem or had to be purchased at a store. Underlying these disputes were questions over whether Microsoft altered or manipulated its application programming interfaces (APIs) to favor Internet Explorer over third party web browsers, Microsoft's conduct in forming restrictive licensing agreements with OEM computer manufacturers, and Microsoft's intent in its course of conduct.

Subject: Great cure for insomnia
Subject: Great cure for insomnia
Came back two years after first seeing this video, Bill Gates being like a typical politician, a million words to say nothing.
But with his billions, he could hire better lawyer coaches that any politicians could.
I suppose interviewing Bill Gates was more a political exercise than a true fact finding mission.
I highly recommend this video to people suffering from insomnia.
But, seriously, I consider this a educational film in the art of evasiveness, if you know the facts and background to the hearings, this is well worth watching, to study body language.
Which is why I am downloading. The trouble is, it does put you to sleep from boredom.
