After takin' a swig o' grog, Roy Schestowitz belched out
this bit o' wisdom:

> MICROSOFT'S
> PRODUCT PREANNOUNCEMENTS WERE NOT MADE IN GOOD
> FAITH AND WERE OBJECTIVELY UNREASONABLE

> A. Microsoft knew what vaporware was and how it could be used

>
> B. Microsoft had a strong motive to lie

> C. Microsoft lied to trade publications and the government on this
> exact issue
>
> D. Microsoft knew that its internal schedules were "fake"
>
> E. Microsoft's product preannouncements were objectively unreasonable
> and were not good faith estimates of product availability
>
> F. Microsoft's vaporware dramatically impinged sales of DR DOS 21
