An excerpt from Mr. Gates' testimony today, at least according to the
BBC:

During the hearing, Mr Gates insisted that Microsoft did not block other
companies' ability to work with Windows, and said it did everything it
could to disclose soruce code - the nuts and bolts of software - to its
rivals. 

But laywers for the states opposing the settlement reached between
Microsoft and the Justice Department challenged this. 

In an echo of previous trials, where old emails were found which
directly contradicted Microsoft employees' testimony, antitrust expert
Steve Kuney introduced an internal memo. 

In it, Mr Gates told employees to stop working on ways of making sure
that documents from the Office suite - Microsoft's "killer app" - were
compatible with rival web browsers. 

"Allowing Office to be rendered very well by other people's browers is
one of the most destructive things we can do to the company," he wrote. 

Mr Gates insisted that was simply a matter of stopping work which wasn't
achieving its goals.
