NEWS Both sides in the Department of Justice (DoJ) antitrust case against Microsoft have submitted revised written findings of fact to Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson. Microsoft argues in the filing that the government has not proved its case, namely that the company has a monopoly on the operating system market, and has used that monopoly to gain the upper hand on the Internet as well. The DoJ fires back that testimony from Bill Gates is not credible, pointing out discrepancies such as his denial that he knew in 1995 that Netscape posed a threat to Microsoft's Internet strategy. The government says an email from 1995 shows Gates mentioned Netscape's potential threat to Microsoft. The written findings are in advance of oral arguments scheduled for 21 September, and Judge Jackson will issue his own findings of fact in October.
