Micrososft and Antitrust

I’ve spent all night watching Bill Gates’ deposition for the antitrust case against Microsoft.

The better parts of Bill Gates’ deposition is when he tells the government how to ask a question, and when he has to explain the computer industry. In other words, the government didn’t even know how the computer industry worked while they were prosecuting Microsoft for anti-competitiveness in the computer industry.

At one point, Bill Gates tells the government that Microsoft had planned to include Internet Explorer as a function of Windows before Netscape existed.

The deposition can be found here: http://www.groklaw.net/staticpages/index.php?page=GatesDepo.

What is the running time of watching this whole thing?

About 11 or 12 hours.
