Subject: MS is so funny...


This is from the just-released deposition of James Allard, who was
responsible for building MS's Internet strategy.  The deposition has
not been used in the trial.

	DE MORY: Did you have any concerns that the Web might "grow into
	a rich application platform in an operating system neutral way"
	in May of 1995?

	ALLARD: Could you define "Web"? 

It gets even better later:

	DE MORY: So your testimony is browser is a word that you don't
	use?

	ALLARD: I try not to. 

	DE MORY: Okay. So we won't use it today. ... Do you have a word
	that you use for the graphical user code used for rendering images
	from the Web? Is there some short term that we could use to refer
	to that?

	ALLARD: Internet Explorer.
