Intel Applied Materials and Dell supported tech while Procter & Gamble led Dow losses on a broad restructuring plan.

IBM says Microsoft sought no explicit OS/2 quid pro quo
IBM manager Garry Norris testified that Microsoft never explicitly offered discounts on Windows in exchange for IBM dropping OS/2. Norris noted clauses implying pressure to reduce OS/2, and said the contract did not require IBM to stop selling OS/2 while arguing it would effectively kill OS/2 in the market. The judge pressed Microsoft’s counsel on progress during questioning.
