[News] Even Jim Allchin Prefers Non-Microsoft Software

Iowa Update - Allchin 2004 email: I'd buy a Mac if I didn't work for MS

,----[ Quote ]
| We have excerpts from transcripts of Thursday's and Friday's
| sessions, including a 2004 email from Jim Allchin to Steve Balmer
| and Bill Gates in which he says Microsoft had lost sight of what
| customers need and that he himself would buy a Mac, if he didn't
| work for Microsoft.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Lead Plaintiffs' attorney Roxanne Conlin also continued with her
| opening statement, providing the rest of the 9 examples of
| anticompetitive behavior, including information this time about
| Microsoft's EDGI program, used to compete against Linux, and she
| mentioned also Red Hat's difficulty getting OEM's to preinstall
| Linux.
| 
| [...]
| 
| And finally, she discussed the subject of spoliation of evidence.
| Many of you will find it interesting to learn about Microsoft'se
| mail destruction policies. It seems Gates has a technical
| assistant whose duties include making sure that Gates' email
| is destroyed weekly.
