Interview: Ask Antitrust Experts About Microsoft 309
First, let's introduce our guests:
Don Weightman was the gentleman who did our Instant Legal Analysis immediately after the Findings of Fact announcement. We had many requests for him as an interview guest. So here he is.
Richard Hawkins engaged in the general practice of law for five years prior to obtaining his Ph.D. in Economics and Statistics. He is currently a visiting assistant professor of economics at the University of Northern Iowa, and practices only in antitrust and other economic issues in the law. His past includes both hardware and software development, including the mail-merge patch for LyX.
John Lederer is a retired lawyer in Oregon, Wisconsin. He is currently active in technology and intellectual property issues. He practiced in the antitrust and transportation areas and argued three U.S., Supreme Court cases.
David Niemi is a system engineer with a background in economics as well as software. He has been administering and developing for UNIX and Linux since 1987, and has been following Microsoft's antitrust adventures closely since 1993.
Next, a few selected stories about the Microsoft Saga that you may not have read:
- Findings of Fact, A Two-Themed Opus (from The Linux Show.)
- Jerry's Take On The Microsoft Decision: Wrong! (Jerry Pournelle in Byte.)
- Microsoft willing to settle antitrust case (from the Boston Globe.)
- Now bust Microsoft's trust (from The Economist.)
- Militant Microsofties Bunker mentality... (from SF Gate.)
- Don't You Sass Me, Mr. Micro-Smartypants! is a humor piece we couldn't resist including that talks about how things might go if Judge Judy was in charge of the Microsoft trial. It's from - believe it or not - The New York Times. (Free registration required to read.)
Now Let's Get Down to Business
As usual, moderators will select the most interesting questions, and Tuesday afternoon Slashdot editors will do the final "cut" and forward 10 - 15 chosen questions to the panelists - who are all Slashdot readers, just so you know. Answers will appear Friday. So ask away!
