I had no idea when I wrote in last week's column about the
            lawsuit between Burst.com and Microsoft that there would
            be a public hearing on the case this week in Federal Court
            in Baltimore. Evidently, nobody else knew it, either, because
            there is no mention of the event on Google News or
            anywhere else I looked. This must be a relief to Microsoft, or
            was until you started reading this column about 20 seconds
            ago. You see, Microsoft did not come through the hearing
            very well as whole new levels of anti-competitive behavior were claimed by Burst AND
            ACKNOWLEDGED BY MICROSOFT -- levels that will likely haunt Redmond in many
            legal cases to come.
