“Recently Microsoft submitted a “Supplemental Offer Of Proof” to
the court as part of its defense. In it, testimony by the CEO of
Compaq corporation is highlighted (it’s first in the list). It has
never ceased to amaze me, the amount of misinformation that
Microsoft has been willing to submit, either as evidence or as
P.R., rebuttal and this testimony is just as baffling.”

“In lieu of the case and the fact that people’s opinions are
being submitted as evidence, I offer my own opinions in direct
contrast to those of Capellas. Unlike Capellas, I have no big
qualifications as having run a PC Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM) like Compaq. No, my qualifications are actually higher–I am
a consumer, and I’m not happy with my lack of choice in the market
of the past few years.”
