Bill Gates To Testify in Novell v M$ at Robert Pogson

It’s a golden oldie but Novell v M$ has finally reached a court room. In the opening arguments, M$ stated that Bill Gates will testify about decisions made in the olden days… It’s hard to believe any lawyer would welcome him back in a courtroom after his performance in US DOJ v M$. The dirty tricks that I have railed against and been criticized for repeating have sufficient respect by a court that similar matters are coming up again. It does not hurt that the public today can learn from the recent past.

see GROKLAW for a blow by blow description of the opening arguments.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
