Michael Hausfeld, who has brought U.S. class actions against Microsoft on behalf of consumers, said he will show a videotaped deposition of Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer to illustrate the company's culture.
"We asked him (Ballmer)--this is after Microsoft has undergone four investigations and one trial (on) two continents--if he has any understanding of the word monopoly," Hausfeld, who practices in Washington, D.C., told reporters as he entered the building.
"He actually laughed and said, 'Yes, I play it with my children'," Hausfeld said. "I don't think that's an indication of someone who takes his obligations seriously."

Do you ever think the day will come when governments stop harassing Microsoft?
