Trial: Microsoft memo disallowed (ZDNet)

[Posted June 3, 2002 by cook]

This article from Reuters reports on the rejection of a controversial memo as evidence. "In the memo, Microsoft Senior Vice President Joachim Kempin complained to Gates and other senior executives that computer chipmaker Intel was encouraging computer makers to support the rival Linux operating system and funding development of new devices that would work with Linux.

Kempin said Microsoft should withhold technical information from Intel and "work underground" to promote its competitors in the computer chip industry, according to portions of the memo disclosed in the states' legal filing."
