Reversal of Facts?!

RE: "This case will be thrown out by a reversal of the findings of fact because they are just not so. The Appeals Court will tell Jackson to get his facts straight and therefore his conclusions in law are based on erroneous premises." JFD

If Microsoft had the facts on it's side and failed to present an effective case, Gates and his crew would have been thrown out on their ears from Microsoft.

Infact, I think they argued the facts about as well as they could, considering what the facts turned out to be. Not all of the self-righteous posturing we are seeing is for the defense of Microsoft. The guilty parties are also usurping shareholder assets in order to defend their own bruised egos and asses.

The longer it gets dragged out, the more controversial this part of the Gates era at Microsoft becomes. People are starting to wince at the sight of Gates on TV and beginning to assign ulterior motives to his every action.

This is bad for business.

PS: Do you think Gates wants to be remembered as the kind of person the facts of all those internal memos made him out to be? No way. The current tact did not work for Joe Colombo, and it won't work for Bill. H.
