Judge Jackson tackles the titans Ken Auletta Friday January 12, 2001 The Guardian When Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson picked up his copy of the Washington Post on April 19, he read of a visit Microsoft's chief executive officer Steve Ballmer had made to the paper the previous day. To a roomful of reporters and editors, Ballmer said: "I do not think we broke the law in any way, shape, or form. I feel deeply that we behaved in every instance with super integrity. I'm not saying we don't talk tough, that people don't get a little 'grrr' in their email and all that." They simply had bad social graces, he insisted. Microsoft's problem was bad manners, not bad behaviour. Judge Jackson was livid. "They don't act like grown-ups," he told me that same afternoon. He interpreted what Ballmer said this way: "We're a little rough around the edges, but you have to be tolerant!" Ballmer's interview proved to Jackson that "to this day they continue to deny they did anything wrong". guardian.co.uk
