Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1998 16:01:04 -0500 From: "Michael A. Behr" <mabehr@inconcert.com> To: humor@MIT.EDU A TAPED GATES DEBATES SOME DEFINITIONS (WSJ) A TESTY GATES DODGES DEPOSITION QUESTIONS (WP) ON TAPE, SEEMS PUZZLED BY WORDS LIKE 'MARKET SHARE' (NYT) Issue: Antitrust In a taped deposition yesterday, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates defended his company in the government's antitrust trial against it. Mr. Gates reportedly appeared testy and quibbled with Government Lawyer David Boise about the definitions of several words including "market share" and "concerned". The 20 minute video expert of Gates - inconsistent with the image of him as brilliant strategist and the world's richest man-caused the judge to laugh out loud more than once. After yesterday's session, Microsoft spokesman Mark Murry said that the taped segments had no relevance to the case. "The government is simply trying to use Bill Gates testimony to inject some life into their failing case."
