People keep harping on "Microsoft's record against this judge in the appeals courts;" aren't the problems he's had likely to make him especially careful to "cross his t's and dot his i's" in this case to make certain he's appeals-proof? That's why he's split his decision into multiple parts, so he won't get the whole thing thrown back at him, only part of it. IMHO, the entire case could have been skipped and the judgement entered when the judge basically defined Microsoft's market as the computers that have Windows installed on them. It's conceivable (but unlikely) that Microsoft can convince the appeals court that this was so grossly unfair and incorrect that it was impossible to mount an effective defense and the whole thing gets zapped.
