Birth of the Evil Empire? Snapshots from billg's early days
Microsoft's settlement (on terms which have yet to be specified) of the Minnesota overcharging lawsuit means that some very interesting evidence that was to be presented at the trial will now, as we say in the Wonderful World of Disney, go back into the vaults for another generation. We'd be the last to suggest that Microsoft is the kind of company that would cut a deal simply to avoid having its senior execs forced to take the stand and have embarrassing emails waved at them, but a deal has, provisionally, been cut, and Hennepin County District Court tells us: "The trial exhibits will remain on the website until Monday, April 26, 2004."

Now that's some interesting information, thanks for this Jinx.
Me wonders after the Dust settles, if Bill Gates will still control the Monopoly?
This would have to put some sorta bad stigma on Microsoft, and it's gonna most likely open the Gates for all those other Company's that Microsoft has screwed over the years.

I didn't like Microsoft before, and after reading a few of those e-mails, i defiantly don't trust 'em now.
