That is very curious. It sounds as if the jury may have felt forced (by judge's instructions?) to "follow the letter of the law and facts", in reaching a verdict re Conn. Unfair Trade Practices Act. *BUT*, in awarding just $1 to Bristol, was the jury trying to make their feelings known to Bristol?

Yes! They basically told Bristol---you want money? Here is $1. That part of losing the lawsuit is even more important than MSFT winning on that issue. The dollar amount sends a clear message to future "bristols". The $1 was like a slap in the face of Bristol's lawyers!!!
