From Bloomberg.com: Washington, Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- The judge who ordered Microsoft Corp. split in two said he would ``think very seriously'' about taking himself off the case if an appeals court found his decision was ``egregiously wrong.'' U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, who found Microsoft illegally defended its Windows software monopoly, raised the possibility of removing himself from further proceedings if the appeals court wants more hearings on the breakup. ``It will depend in large measure upon the confidence the Court of Appeals reposes in my earlier decision,'' Jackson said after a speech to an antitrust seminar. ``If I am found to have been egregiously in error, then even if they didn't remove me from the case, I might very well think very seriously of removing myself.'' ``My take on the case is a matter of public record,'' Jackson added. ``If my take is wrong, then perhaps somebody else ought to'' preside over further hearings. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is scheduled to hear arguments Feb. 26 and 27 on Microsoft's appeal of the breakup order.
