Short honk: I don’t have much to add to Slashdot’s “Microsoft Trial Misconduct Cost $40 Million.” In my opinion, if the story is accurate and the judge does not reverse himself, the action provides some useful information about how Microsoft approaches certain issues. In the aftermath of Enron and Bernie Madoff, I was hoping that these types of disturbing actions would decrease. The addled goose was incorrect once again.
