Did Bill Gates Invent Linux and Has He Erased the Evidence? Tom Adelstein Oct 24 2005

Someone has started rearranging content on the Internet to suit their own purposes and the culprit might be a convicted monopolist. This article examines some compelling evidence and asks Congress to investigate.

But during the frantic days of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. MICROSOFT CORPORATION, Defendant, Mr. Gate's employees at Microsoft corporation put together an argument for the court that made a tiny group of companies look like a threat - even a compebreastor. Here's a list of exhibits demonstrating the enormous compebreastive threat of Linux to Microsoft ..

On October 19, 1999, a group of individuals rebutted a Microsoft document called The Five Linux Myths. They published their paper as did many. Unfortunately, Microsoft's document no longer resides on the Internet ..

Much of the evidence of Microsoft's arguments has disappeared from the Internet. Links which I have collected in my research lead to either "HTTP 404 Not Found" pages or interesting redirects to pages that alter the original reports ...

Microsoft's recent "astroturf" campaign fortunately blew up in its face. The astroturf campaign was Microsoft's attempt to create a grbuttroots movement in its legal battle against the DOJ by paying people to show public support. It was referred to as astroturf rather than grbuttroots because the support was completely fake.

In the above, a link exists to a Los Angeles Times Story that no longer exists on the web site. Click it and you will get a message that says: "Error - Sorry, the page you requested is not available."

One of the links I found while doing research into the US v Microsoft case lead me to an article which supposedly held information about the original verdict. The article was enbreastled: Judge Issues Verdict and went on to state:

Saying that Microsoft put "an oppressive thumb on the scale of compebreastive fortune," Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson ruled Monday that Microsoft broke anbreastrust laws when it acted to protect its monopoly in the Windows operating system.

Instead the article that responds to the link is enbreastled: Microsoft Ruling Overturned and states:

.. "an oppressive thumb on the scale of compebreastive fortune," ..

.. Instead the article that responds to the link is enbreastled: Microsoft Ruling Overturned and states:

A federal appeals court reversed the ruling .. giving the world's largest software maker another chance to prove that its Web browser didn't illegally copy a key piece of technology.

You mean something like this:

"One cant help but wondering why two MS security experts bother to write a book about secure code? Since it is obvious that their employer does not make use of their recommendations"

that changed to this:

"I recommend this book to every programmer out there, even if youre not programming for the Win32-platform"
