1. States: MS pushed for Linux attack (ZDNet)

http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104-913219.html

 In the memo, Microsoft senior vice president Joachim Kempin complained to
Gates and other senior executives that computer chipmaker Intel was
encouraging computer makers to support Linux and funding development of new
devices that would work with Linux.

Kempin said Microsoft should withhold technical information from Intel and
"work underground" to promote its competitors in the computer chip
industry, according to portions of the memo disclosed in the states' legal
filing.

"I would further try to restrict source code deliveries where possible and
be less gracious when interpreting agreements--again without being obvious
about it," Kempin wrote.

[...]

 Kempin recommended that computer makers who were not "friendly" with
Microsoft should be hit "harder than in the past with anti-Linux actions."
