Microsoft wants reporters barred from depositions

BLOOMBERG , WASHINGTON

Microsoft also would be required to make versions of its popular Microsoft Office suite of spreadsheet and word-processing programs to run on rival operating systems such as Linux and Unix.

Microsoft's appeal of the 1998 order opening pre-trial depositions allowed Chairman Bill Gates's deposition to be taken in private. An appeals court ruling that the depositions should be made public resulted in release of transcripts of those sessions.
