The full text of his written testimony is available, 1.1M pdf..  164 
pages I think..  I downloaded a copy yesterday.  Most of what he said 
was that Microsoft is responsible for the rapid growth of the computer 
industry, and forcing Microsoft to release there API and to make windows 
more moduler ( ie. offer the ability to remove IE, Media Player and 
other apps from the OS release ) would force Microsoft to stop 
supporting windows and would crush the entire PC market.

The Oregonian had a nice article in the business section about it 
today.  It had some observations about the Bill on the stand, and a nice 
quote from a 1998 memo where BillyG told all employees to stop spending 
time making word documents easily viewable for other 
formats/applications... Bad employees!
