Insitu, that remedy would be irresponsible. Also, what does public release of the Windows source code really mean ? Anybody can reverse engineer windows source code from the binaries today if they want to. That is trivial for any competent programmer. So, a mere order to do that is not a problem. It wouldn't serve anybody. Now, if you force a company to give away a product for free, it will be communism...

Insitu, I'd like to know what about Judge Jackson impresses you. For example, are you impressed that he regularly napped in the courtroom during the early afternoon while the proceedings continued? At one point, the press had a pool on what time he would doze off. I saw only one reporter willing to directly describe this behavior and a number of them alluding to it with comments like "when he was awake", etc. Is it the fact that his first ruling drew scathing criticism and a writ of Mandamus from the appeals court over his improper procedure and clearly incorrect interpretation of law? Was it the fact that while everyone basically agreed he was biased, his sole public statement that seemed to show an openness to fair treatment of Microsoft made national news just before his legally criticized and overturned ruling? I'm honestly curious to hear specific things about him that impress you. Thanks, Mike
