As a long time msft shareholder who bailed out in April 1999, I'm gratified to see that the magnifying glass has been turned in the direction of Justice (an inappropriate label if I ever heard one) Thomas Penfield Jackson. This judge's inexcusable and blatant bias has caused immeasurable damage to Mr. Softee, its shareholders, and the the entire tech sector. It's only fitting that he end his career with the sanctions of the appellate court ringing loudly throughout the judicial system.

All at once, the awkwardly silent bunch of appellate judges spewed forth a river of venom castigating Judge Jackson. Apparently the judges didn't take Jackson's interviews with the press lightly. Judge David Sentelle hypothesized that "the judge must have some other ax to grind or he wouldn't be doing something so improper" and wondered, "What is the unbiased reason for judge to have secret conferences with reporters about a litigant?"

Chief Judge Harry Edwards lamented that Jackson's actions were "beyond the pale," that his interviews make the "system look like a sham."

Those words must sound like music to the ears of the Microsoft longs who held their positions throughout this fiasco.
