Windows Is So Slow, but Why?
By STEVE LOHR and JOHN MARKOFF
Back in 1998, the federal government declared that its landmark 
antitrust suit against the Microsoft Corporation was not merely a 
matter of law enforcement, but a defense of innovation. The concern was 
that the company was wielding its market power and its strategy of 
bundling more and more features into its dominant Windows desktop 
operating system to thwart competition and stifle innovation.

Alan Atkinson, the saleroom manager of Penrith Farmers & Kidds, which

box by "an old chap I know in the south of Cumbria".

New E-mails filed as evidence in a wrongful dismissal suit apparently 
show IT executives receiving hard-to-find sports tickets and other 
favors from vendors, trying to use IT spending to lure customers for 
Morgan Stanley's banking business, and trying to electronically wall 
off top executives from being contacted by whistle-blowers. Morgan 
Stanley says the allegations are rubbish.
