(courtesy of c|net)

10. Microsoft to court: "What do you mean precisely by
    'world domination'?"
9.  Lawrence Lessig used to steal Gates's lunch money in
    grade school. No fair!
8.  Request to clear the courtroom of disruptive laid-off
    Netscape employees.
7.  Joel Klein using Mac laptop to take notes--prejudiced!
6.  Please make Ralph Nader put down his bullhorn while
    court is in session.
5.  Please ask FBI Director Freeh to cease and desist
    Stealth flyovers of Redmond.
4.  Court recorder saying, "Wait a minute, I have to
    reboot," not helping their case.
3.  Request that Judge Jackson not refer to Microsoft
    lawyers as "you people."
2.  Removing MS lawyer Bill Neukom from the courtroom in
    shackles after every session is demeaning.
1.  Court's request to install airbags and seat belts in
    Windows might be slightly extreme.
