[Am-info] Judge K-K seems to favor Microsoft

[John J. Urbaniak]

As I understand it, the attorneys objected to the "hearsay" charge.  After all, they
had the e-Mail from the guy.

Judge K-K said that they didn't call the sender of the e-Mail as a witness, but it
was she who limited the number of witnesses.

I'm concerned that she doesn't want to be the judge who causes Windows to be taken
off the market.
