Gates: Penalties Would Hurt Windows | |
|
||
| Time: 13:50 EST/18:50 GMT | News Source: Associated Press | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Microsoft founder Bill Gates took the stand Monday for the first time in his company's epic antitrust case, testifying the penalties being sought by nine states would undermine the Windows software used by millions of Americans. With a laser pointer in his hand, Gates opened his long-awaited courtroom appearance with a computer-generated slideshow. He demonstrated how the Windows operating system would stop functioning if components such as the Microsoft Explorer Web browser are removed as the states have proposed. | ||

Not letting people use airbags and not letting people have the source code to IE are completely different. You can see the difference, cant you? I hope. Please say you do. (Hint: people's lives and health) |

Let us also not forget that Mercedes powered the Nazi war machine in WWII. They still have lots of reconciliation to do. By contributing these safety features back to the public, they are slowly regaining their place in the free world.
(FYI: Mitsubishi powered the Japanese war machine) |

#10: OMG! DOWN WITH THE BIG AUTO MAKERS! THEY ARE A MONOPOLY AND THREATEN THE CHOICE OF THE CONSUMERS!
Where are the 9 states in that one? Oh yeah, that's right, they aren't getting paid by Novell, Oracle, and Sun to go after the auto-makers, just Microsoft. |

stubear - Tucker did have a lot of good ideas. He wasn't particularly good at implementing them however. That's what crushed the car. The Big Three weren't even interested in Tucker, and had nothing to do with his failure... that's a old myth. Read this history, as it's pretty detailed on why Tucker failed:
http://www.freespeaker.org/Americanhistory/tucker-fee.html This sums up the Big Three myth, and the same applies to the Microsoft myth of Netscape's destruction: "What about the role of the Big Three auto-makers? Their supposed opposition to Tucker is inferred as a result of a common fallacy about big business concerns. There is a widely held belief that any large business or several "oligopolists" can easily shut out an upstart competitor, either with predatory pricing or some other tactic. The way this story goes, the dominant business simply applies such pressures when a new company appears, and then goes back to its usual exploitative practices after the would-be contender expires. This is a fallacious argument that is often used to explain failure. It can be easily disproved by tracking the number of times newcomers have dislodged established firms. It still survives, however, and it contributed to the Tucker myth." |
