Microsoft faces yet another antitrust case


Tries to dismiss previous Findings of Fact as "prejudicial" (LOL):

Today was the first day of the trial in Novell v. Microsoft, the
antitrust trial over WordPerfect and Quattro Pro. Novell won the right
to this trial on appeal.
....
The main point of contention is how the findings would be announced.
Microsoft didn't want the jurors to hear that the government was a
party to the case as they believed it would be prejudicial. Microsoft
also didn't want them referred to as "findings of fact".
....
In a previous case... Sigh. Well, *we're* not jurors, so here are those
Findings of Fact. for you, and if you read them, you'll probably
understand why Microsoft is so touchy about them. No one wants to reap
what they sow.

Here I was thinking Microsoft was keen to make sure people "Get The
Facts", but apparently that does not include the inconvenient facts
about its criminal behaviour.
Oh well, here we go again with another farcical antitrust trial, from
which Microsoft will walk away scot-free, because half the senate is
living in its pockets.
