May saw Microsoft rejecting the Department of Justice's proposal to split the company, and thus the antitrust case entered its second phase.
In court, Microsoft presented a videotape to prove that uninstalling the Navigator browser caused the Windows system to become sluggish.
It essentially argued that the browser was a feature of the system, so Microsoft bundling it was not due to business competition.
However, the Prosecuting Attorney was well-prepared for this; they brought in a computer and managed to uninstall Navigator right there in the courtroom.
It turned out to be unrelated to the system, and Windows was still able to run smoothly.
Moreover, technicians discovered signs of editing on the videotape provided by Microsoft.
Only after Judge Jackson issued a warning did Microsoft admit that the videotape they provided might not be entirely accurate.
