Politech is the oldest Internet resource devoted to politics and technology. Launched in 1994 by Declan McCullagh, the mailing list has chronicled the growing intersection of culture, technology, politics, and law. Since 2000, so has the Politech web site.
Gates previously testified via a videotape deposition in (I recall) fall 1998. He has not testified in person before. -Declan From Microsoft: This morning, Microsoft has provided attorneys for the non-settling states a list of witnesses that we plan to call to the stand next week in the remedy proceedings in Washington DC. Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates is included on this list. We plan on calling Mr. Gates to testify on Monday, April 22nd. He will be the eighth Microsoft witness and will take the stand in the sixth week of the trial. Mr. Gates will testify on the evolution of the PC ecosystem and Microsoft s role in fostering innovation in the PC industry. He will also testify on how the remedies proposed by the non-settling states would imperil not only Microsoft s business, but also cause harm to the PC industry and to consumers. We will email you an embargoed copy of the Gates written direct testimony Sunday afternoon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
