Gates' videotaped testimony was part of the US v. Microsoft antitrust trial. The case resulted in findings that Microsoft engaged in monopolistic practices, leading to court-ordered changes in their business conduct and requiring Windows to be more open to competitor software.
This refers to the historical Microsoft antitrust case, where video-taped deposition testimony from Bill Gates was used as evidence; the outcome of such antitrust proceedings was scrutiny that could push Microsoft to alter how it conducted business (e.g., bundling practices), rather than the testimony itself being sold commercially or leading directly to impeachment (which applies to public officials, not corporate executives).
