It said the Justice Department's complaint seeks to impose the government into the
software design process, which Microsoft called a dangerous precedent. It also said
the case should have ended when the judge failed to find Microsoft in civil contempt,
as the Justice Department had asked.

Instead, Neukom said Jackson had taken it upon himself, improperly, to expand the
scope of the case from a contract dispute to a full-blown antitrust action.

But antitrust attorneys said Jackson, known as a conservative and deliberate jurist,
had taken no extraordinary steps in issuing the injunction nor in appointing a special
master to determine disputed facts in the case and report to him by May 31.

''Microsoft is trying to portray this problem as a judge going out on his own and
making it an antitrust case, and that's not the case,'' said Kevin Arquit, an attorney
with Rogers and Wells in New York and a former antitrust official with the Federal
Trade Commission. ''The government did ask for a permanent injunction. This isn't
anything unusual.''
