By definition, a special master is someone with special expertise-- someone who's spent time studying the field in question. For an academic or a lawyer, that invariably means some sort of paper trial, which will most probably include opinions about companies in the field. Add to that the fact that most lawyers in the field seem to thing that Microsoft is a monopoly (check out ipmag.com and read the articles and letters). What you get is that Microsoft would probably be able to find a negative comment about them by just about any lawyer that might be appointed a special master.

The ridiculous thing is, of course, that making negative comments about a company is not evidence of bias. Bias implies an inability or unwillingness to render impartial judgements. It has nothing to do with whether or not that judgement will be negative or positive.
