“The government rested its case against Microsoft, and the
software giant immediately filed for dismissal of the case, a
request that was just as quickly denied.”
“David Boies, lead attorney for the government, had begun
questioning Schmalensee about viable competitors to Windows before
a break in the proceedings. Schmalensee had testified the Linux
operating system represented one such alternative. However, after
the afternoon break in the proceedings, Schmalensee slightly
modified his response about Linux to indicate the interest in the
OS to power servers vs. desktops.”
