Have you ever heard anything as arrogant as this?

Some you’ve heard before, and some you haven’t – such as the threat to withdraw Windows from market within six months [par 183], or the reclassification of Embedded Windows XP as “a set of tools”, not an operating system. Or the claim that Internet Explorer browser development costs Microsoft $100 million a year[par 234]. The latter we calculate as enough to employ over 1,000 engineers at current market salaries…

Perhaps the most extraordinary part of his written performance is its context. Remember: this is the plea for clemency from a convicted criminal. Microsoft was found guilty two years ago, and large parts of the conviction were upheld on appeal. The current hearings are being held to resolve the punishment.

If I was the judge, I’d tell Bill to go get stuffed. Where does he get off threatening the US Justice Department??
