[CLUE-Talk] More Microsoft Case...

[jbrockmeier at earthlink.net]

Apparently, Microsoft has dropped several witnesses that they
had put on their witness list. The reason that they've given is
that their case is so strong that they don't need these witnesses.

My guess is they've figured out that the states could use the 
testimony of these witnesses against them and decided not to 
call them. From what I've heard of the testimony given by Microsoft
witnesses, I don't think they've got any strong arguments against
the sanctions that the states want... but I'm no lawyer and
I certainly don't know what this judge is thinking.

Any bets on what year it'll be when this is finally resolved?
