Gates previously testified via a videotape deposition in (I recall) fall 1998. He has not testified in person before.
-Declan From Microsoft:This morning, Microsoft has provided attorneys for the non-settling states a list of witnesses that we plan to call to the stand next week in the remedy proceedings in Washington DC. Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates is included on this list. We plan on calling Mr. Gates to testify on Monday, April 22nd. He will be the eighth Microsoft witness and will take the stand in the sixth week of the trial.
Mr. Gates will testify on the evolution of the PC ecosystem and Microsoft s role in fostering innovation in the PC industry. He will also testify on how the remedies proposed by the non-settling states would imperil not only Microsoft s business, but also cause harm to the PC industry and to consumers. We will email you an embargoed copy of the Gates written direct testimony Sunday afternoon.
