The following is quoted from the following in eWeek March 18, 2002 Microsoft, States Debate Remedies By Darryl K. Taft http://www.eweek.com/article/0,3658,s=1884&a=24242,00.asp Kuney (atty Stephen Kuney) introduced a Microsoft memo to Ballmer, from the spring of 2000, that called into question Dell Computer Corp.'s backing of Linux. The memo said it was "untenable that a Windows Premier Partner would be promoting Linux." A subsequent memo, from early 2001, showed that Dell had disbanded its Linux business unit, laid off the head of the unit and dispersed the talent, Kuney said. He introduced other similar memos regarding Compaq Computer Corp.'s Linux push and Microsoft's alleged pressure on Compaq to "meet demand but not help create demand" for Linux.
