A federal judge on Thursday compared Microsoft's behavior toward Sun Microsystems to the 1994 knee-clubbing of Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan.
In a third day of preliminary hearings into whether Microsoft's Windows operating system should resume carrying Sun's Java software, U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz did not hide his skepticism about Microsoft's behavior.
"Isn't there a social value in being able to participate fairly in a market, undistorted by your competitors?" Motz asked Microsoft's final witness.
