  E-mail: When E stands for embarrassing
Time: 04:28 EST/09:28 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Alex Harris

You'd think Bill Gates would learn.

The Microsoft chairman, who's been stung by e-mail several times, got caught yet again discussing schemes against a corporate enemy in e-mail messages admitted as evidence in antitrust testimony last week. In one note to top executives, Gates said he approved of Microsoft's association with the Web Services Interoperability Group (WS-I), code-named "foo," as long as Sun Microsystems was kept on the sidelines.

This comes only a month after a January 1999 e-mail surfaced in court in which Gates described a plan to use the Windows operating system to promote Microsoft's audio and video delivery software over that of rival RealNetworks. Gates isn't alone in the court of public embarrassment over e-mail better forgotten.
