E-mails helped Microsoft in Conn. Two jurors disliked the reference to a 'we sue' business plan

Article Abstract:

Bristol Technology Inc's antitrust suit against the Microsoft Corp hardly succeeded, netting the company only $1 for claims under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. The e-mail may have worked in Microsoft's favor, as their portrayal of Bristol as greedy may have been at the forefront of jurors' minds as they began their discussions. Bristol charged that Microsoft tried to leverage its Windows monopoly into the market for technical workstations by offering Bristol a joint venture with it.

Bork: have I told you the one about 'Lorain Journal'? The 'judge,' again, says one case dooms Microsoft. But he sounds a bit different

Article Abstract:

Antitrust expert Robert H. Bork, consultant to Netscape Communications Corp in the Microsoft antitrust case, has written that the 1956 Supreme Court ruling Lorain Journal Co. v. U.S. is controlling legal precedent for the government's case against Microsoft. Bork asserts that Microsoft's primary motive was predatory and his views are at odds with the Chicago school of economics which he helped found.
