We decided to have a consistent policy with our Internet providers across the board worldwide.

since the very first version was shipped to computer manufacturers in July of 1995.

If we ever stop innovating we will quickly be passed by other companies in this industry, and that's why Microsoft invests over $3 billion a year in research and development to continually improve our products for consumers.

Cellini collaborated with his two bosses to just mail in certificates to the state that said they were certified and trained when in fact they were not.

If the goal (of the hearing) was to get an objective understanding of the software industry, there are plenty of industry analysts who could have provided a more objective point of view than five of Microsoft's direct competitors.

We're obviously very pleased that the District Court rejected the government's arguments and stayed the entire judgment.

I think the factual record is going to show very clearly that Microsoft's prices are actually lower than most of our major competitors. Lower than IBM , lower than the Macintosh operating system. In fact, the judge's own findings of fact said that IBM charges 2 1/2 times as much as Microsoft charges for Windows '98. So it's very hard to see how this case has any merit whatsoever.

I think this is just a remarkable black eye for Oracle.

It doesn't do us any good to hide our head in the sand with regard to what is hazardous. The manufacturers of these devices need to take responsibility for phasing out the use of toxic materials and for taking back their devices.

Microsoft faces many significant competitors and changes in the high-tech industry are always going to be five steps ahead of government attempts to regulate the high-tech marketplace.

We have been able to show what accounts for that insignificant presentation discrepancy in the video. The government's changes to Windows 98 result in a product that is not good for consumers.

This ruling is an overwhelmingly positive decision that essentially marks the end of this case.

We think the demo was completely misleading. It's very troubling that Glaser would make these types of accusations, and it's troubling that the Judiciary Committee would provide a forum for these types of accusations.

The government is alleging the only reason Microsoft is gaining consumer popularity is we must be doing something wrong. I think the facts speak for themselves.

Technically, this is simply what's called the 'answer' to the complaint. So it is not Microsoft's full response and all the company's legal arguments.

This is something that's been in the works for three or four months and frankly, it only represents a tiny fraction of Internet users.

You don't want to read too much into the track right now. But it passes just east of Austin. If the track were into the Hill Country, we'd be much more concerned for flooding. If it's east, the flooding chances will be much less.

The remainder of that tape was word games.

All our products undergo hundreds of hours of testing before they are ever released to consumers.

It's like requiring The New York Times to wrap the front section of The Wall Street Journal around the newspaper.

It's premature for the state of California to be effectively providing a gift of public funds for the implementation of pollution control measures when we don't even know what those measures should be,

It's my interpretation that all electronics are universal waste. Every single device DTSC has tested has been found to be a hazard.

The urban heat-island effect does help to create thunderstorms. But mostly downstream from a city. Rainfall maps across Texas show slightly higher precipitation amounts downstream of most Texas cities, but it's more noticeable with cities the size of Dallas-Fort Worth.

They want to disrupt the entire industry. Hundreds of computer makers gearing up, thousands of Windows 98 resellers.

They want to disrupt the entire industry, ... Hundreds of computer makers gearing up, thousands of Windows 98 resellers.

If you do take the time to read through the document, it will provide a road map to Microsoft's arguments in refuting the case.

In the course of making this review we decided it didn't make any sense to make changes in our policy in Europe and not in the United States,

The economic basis for the government's case is very shaky, and the court needs to take the government's entire economic analysis with a huge grain of salt.
