Judge Posner and a Different Thought..

Do you think this could be Jackson's way of getting someone that will look at the DOJ story, and then really push MSFT into a settlement that would actually be worse for them if they dragged this out?

Think about this.

This could be be a master ploy to push MSFT into a corner with no way to escape without serious egg on their face.

From NY Times TODAY

Both parties in the case welcomed his appointment. Justice Department spokeswoman Gina Talamona said the government viewed Posner as "a highly respected jurist." The Justice Department is eager to meet with Posner to "discuss the serious competitive problems identified in the court's findings of fact," Talamona said. "The department has always been willing to seek a settlement that would promote competition, innovation and consumer choice."

Microsoft spokesman Mark Murray said the company viewed Posner's appointment as "potentially a very positive step toward possibly resolving this case. We look forward to working with Judge Posner to try to reach a fair and responsible solution."
