SeattlePI | at | by Mike
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates must submit to questioning under oath by lawyers for Burst.com and Sun Microsystems as they prepare antitrust claims against the world's largest software maker, a U.S. judge said Friday. U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz in Baltimore ordered Gates to undergo the pretrial questioning for three hours.
Burst.com has sued Microsoft, accusing the company of breaking antitrust laws to prevent competition for software used to broadcast sound and audio programs over the Internet.
