WASHINGTON--While arguing today for their proposal to break up Microsoft,
attorneys for the Justice Department revealed two
new emails by company chairman Bill Gates which, they contend, show
Microsoft's continuing efforts to dominate the software
market.
The first email, from Gates to a select group of managers and executives,
dealt with wireless, handheld computers and
personal digital assistants. Gates urged his managers to make changes in the
Microsoft Outlook email program to aid the
adoption of Microsoft's line of handhelds instead of the popular Palm
Computing models.
"We really need to demonstrate...why our PDA will connect to Office in a
better way than other PDAs, even that means
changing how we do flexible schema in Outlook and how we tie some of our
audio and video advanced work to only run on our
PDAs," Gates wrote.
