<P><FONT size=-1>Washington Tues 9th 2001: Former Microsoft executive
|
||
|
|
Ima Lyer this afternoon surprisingly retracted his earlier claims that Microsoft
|
||
|
|
chairman William Gates and Sun Microsytems chief Scott McNealy conspired
|
||
|
|
to create a duopoly within the software marketplace.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<P>Speaking from the footsteps of his new $25 million private jet which was about
|
||
|
|
to whisk him away to his new luxury island retreat in the Caribbean, Mr. Lyer
|
||
|
|
said that he had been overworking recently and this had led him to make
|
||
|
|
"spurious and unsupportable claims" about the two industry leaders.
