A Microsoft Corp. attorney on Tuesday worked to discredit testimony by a Gateway Inc. executive, saying he was biased because AOL Time Warner Inc. holds a large chunk of the computer maker's stock. Microsoft's lawyer, Richard Pepperman, spent the morning throwing a barrage of questions at Gateway Group Counsel Anthony Fama in an effort to portray Fama as biased and ill- informed.
During his cross-examination Tuesday, Pepperman alleged Fama was biased because Microsoft rival, online services and media giant AOL Time Warner, has bought $600 million worth of Gateway stock since 1999. Fama said he did not know about AOL's investment. [yeah, right]
Pepperman grilled Fama on whether Gateway had directly gone to Microsoft with complaints about the price Gateway would pay for Windows under the settlement agreement. "As of today, Gateway still has not provided Microsoft with any additional comments or feedback?" Pepperman asked Fama. Fama responded that he did not know. [This guy don't know anything beside what AOL told him to say]
