Gerald, maybe you'd like to comment on the legal issue of "finding facts", which Jackson alluded to long ago. This has something to do with what can be appealed, and what can't be, right? You can appeal interpretation of the law, but you can't introduce new evidence. Maybe you can't question how the trial court interpreted the evidence? Just how they interpreted the law?

As far as appeals go, it wouldn't surprise me if the D.C. Circuit bends over backward to do something for Microsoft. They seemed willing to do that on the allegedly narrow "contracual dispute" of the consent decree action. It won't be the same panel, necessarily, will it? But again, I don't think the Supreme Court is quite as conservative. How well the "where's the harm" Chicago School defense will go with them, who knows. To repeat my sarcastic take, Windows still sucks, which seems harmful enough to me.

Cheers, Dan.
