I have to wonder: how would Mr. Gates (or more properly his legal team) 
demonstrate/prove the allegation? MS is so worried about people seeing the 
code of their products (usually) that I don't see even a limited showing 
of code is likely to happen. Plus, the claim that MS's records of when 
particular code was initially created would be above suspicion should be 
absurd on the face of it.

No. The matrix would make somewhat more sense...
