Coming Soon: Microsoft Depositions' Transcripts



“This anti-trust thing will blow over. We haven’t changed our business practices at all.”

--Bill Gates



Something intentionally missing here



Summary: Our plan to release Microsoft deposition transcripts (antitrust, monopoly abuse) explained in advance

FOUR more deposition videos will be published in Techrights over the next four days. Then, in four separate parts, we'll start releasing deposition transcripts, which Techrights can then use to explain the present war on GNU/Linux and Free software. Gates himself has already admitted nothing changed (same business practices persist). Both before and after those excruciating interrogations Gates viewed himself as fighting a holy war or "Jihad" against his competitors. He's debased if not deranged. After the trials Gates supported Bush, who scuttled the whole thing and never properly punished Microsoft. Right now Republican politicians pretend that Microsoft is no problem at all, only Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook are a problem. Donald Trump works like an employee or lobbyists of Microsoft. Charms of a fake charity that bribes politicians and media simultaneously?



"Right now Republican politicians pretend that Microsoft is no problem at all, only Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook are a problem."At Techrights we need to convert these PDFs into text (in bulk) somehow, though accuracy of the OCR then becomes a subject of concern. Well, based on the many PDFs (almost a hundred right there), we're talking about thousands of pages of deposition transcripts, so it's infeasible for us. Some are prepared already (solid transcriptions), at least the important ones. We just try to work out the presentation (the best way to preserve these and make them easily accessible).

Remember that Bill Gates was already arrested in the past (apparently several times, based on old records). He's still dodging questions (or questioning) about his relationship with child traffickers. COVID-19 helps him portray himself, a famous criminal, as the man who is saving the world. Many people are rightly sceptical.

COVID-19 gave us valuable time to archive very important past events (such as IBM's long and shameful history as well as Microsoft antitrust facts), salvaging it all before the past rots away -- on the Internet at least -- and before it's mostly irretrievable/inaccessible to the general public (necessitating formal request for documents, e.g. FOIA, PACER or similar). Our voyage for truth carries on. We rarely make erroneous statements here.
