"It's difficult to conclude the breakup is anything other than punitive," said Microsoft attorney Steven Holley. "It is well-settled that courts are not authorized in antitrust proceedings to punish violators, and relief must not be punitive."

Holley also contended that Jackson was so deferential to the Justice Department and the states that he accepted virtually all of their recommendations, including those for restricting the company's business conduct and breaking it up.

Moreover, he argued, Jackson offered no explanation of his legal rationale, making it all but impossible for the appeals court to assess the remedy."
