Title: Bill Gates takes witness stand
Post by: System on April 22, 2002, 10:08:19 PM

Bill Gates takes the witness stand in the first time in the Microsoft vs. U.S. trial (other than an earlier deposition, that is), asking the court not to "fragment" Windows. Read the story at c|net here (http://news.com.com/2100-1001-888408.html).

" Using a hypothetical example of separate Windows versions from AOL Time Warner, Sun Microsystems and Gateway, Gates said such versions would lead to a situation where "some of the applications don't run on some of the variations. You wouldn't know which fragmented version (an application) would be compatible with."

LOL!!! No change there then! :-)
