New Documents Shed Light on Microsoft's Tactics

Tigen writes "As the NY Times reports, even as MS prepares to face penalties from the European Union, testimony during the second week of trial in the consumer class-action lawsuit in Minnesota has revealed some embarrassing internal documents from Microsoft which were not disclosed in the 1997 federal antitrust lawsuit. Items include a 1990 letter from Bill Gates to Andy Grove, and Microsoft's illegal tactics against the Go Corporation, a Silicon Valley startup."

    He posts under other names too - not recently though. I'm guessing 50 accounts that have been karma whored, each one used to mod up his daily spam posts.

    If you log in and 'disrespect' him, he adds you as a friend. I feel honoured, I honestly do.

    The reason I use MS software is quite simple. It works out of the box. I have several PCs. Some run Linux of some description. One runs XP-Pro and Office. It also has a few games and a variety of development apps. That's the one I am using now. The others are for playing with. None of them are online because there are no drivers for my broadband modem, even for the distro which cost 70BP+ (about $100 US) this year. I plugged the modem into my windows box and I was online. Just like that.

    If you wanna mess with him, copy his links and put them in each of your posts, but change them so they all point to "Troll". That should help his ratings...
