Props to Sarah Bond! She put in the best performance, even the judge was praising her in private (with an accidental mic on) and Microsoft's expert witness, Elizabeth Bailey, the judge couldn't stop bringing up her data (in a positive manner). Clearly Elizabeth and Sarah left a good impression on the judge, give em both a bonus! Lol. Microsoft better recognise Bond for her performance.

Beth Wilkinson (Microsoft's lawyer) was on the ball too, she was great and very sharp, quick to her arguments, judge didn't really challenge her much, it was funny she almost slipped up though by implying the judge said something and the judge was like "I didn't say that, the FTC said that" and Beth was instantly like "shit shit, sorry"

Phil, Booty and Pete held their own too in a stressful environment, Phil of those 3 was the best, it was typical Phil while Booty and Pete were obviously nervous and stumbled a little but nothing enough to criticise them for. Satya was a bit funny, the FTC got absolutely nothing out of him, I guess I shouldn't be surprised from a CEO but he was just speeding through his responses and then bounced out of the court, man has better things to do, Lol.

Disagree on Sarah Bond having having the best. She had an easy job with just explaining the market. She did a great job with doing that, but wasn't pressed. I'd give the biggest W to Phil tbh. The way he shut down the economist? with basic knowledge he would know, explaining how the Switch is competition, while also being pressed gives him the edge imo. 

Beth did too well especially that 3rd? day with the Harvard economist. Legit felt bad for him. 

Shoutout to Jim Ryan on his testimony as well. Didn't expect that level of entertainment. Wish he showed up live though.
