I read Posner's appointment as bad for Microsoft.

Keep in mind-- Legally, Microsoft is screwed. Forget about monopoly preservation, the coercing of Netscape to divide up markets is illegal even without a monopoly. Richard Posner is not going to ignore the facts of the case, or simply say 'pish-tosh, what's the big deal.' Bork didn't. So the DOJ and State Attorneys are protected. But a mediated deal will be better for Microsoft than Jackson's rulings.

Basically, if Microsoft doesn't come out of mediation with a deal, then they are saying to all their conservative supporters that they won't accept even a Richard Posner's view of what's going on. In that case, their supporters will lose much credibility.
