Correction to minutes, information sources





  I have some information to distribute that's probably of general interest,
and a couple of corrections and impressions regarding last weeks meeting.

   My correction is pretty simple, I am NOT producing any meeting notes from
the meeting last Tuesday, but I am passing on some URLs so you can read some
of the source material for my talk.  This text is more complete and correct
than anything I can produce on the Anti-Trust cases now being pursued against
Microsoft by the US Government and 20 States (plus DC):

   The Complaint in the case USA v. Microsoft:
          http://cnn.com/US/9805/18/states.complaint/
   Library of Documents concerning legal actions between USA and Microsoft
     (great if you can read WP 5.1, this site has EVERYTHING!):
          http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/cases3/micros/ms_index.htm
   The Complaint in the case New York, et al v. Microsoft:
          http://cnn.com/US/9805/18/states.complaint/
   Selected documents made available by Microsoft:
          http://www.microsoft.com/corpinfo/doj/library.htm

   After the meeting, someone asked me if I was so convinced that Microsoft
was guilty that I could stand up and say so before the case even goes to trial.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The main purpise of my presentation
was to shed some light on anti-trust laws, and how the government CLAIMS that
Microsoft has violated them.  Anti-trust is VERY difficult to prove, and the
Governments suing Microsoft have their work cut out for them.
