. Essentially, Bill Gates' position is that the government has no case against him, and he assumes a correct moral and legal posture. A key concern for government lawyers is Microsoft's ability to "bundle" additional functions into the Windows start-up menu, such as the "Internet Explorer" browser that gives users direct access to the World Wide Web. A few consumers pause even to consider the alternative Navigator" developed by Netscape. In a video taped message distributed by Microsoft, Mr. Gates said he was "very disappointed" by the collapse of the Peace Talks.

All of this has made Bill Gates something of a controversial figure. Questions have been asked as to whether or not he is a good guy or a bad guy.
