Charles, I am somewhat surprised that the Appeals Court had to issue this comment when it is really none of their business at this stage because they have already issued their ruling on June 28. Were they being asked to? I doubt it. "It appears that Microsoft has misconstrued our opinion, particularly with respect to what would have been required to justify vacating the district court's findings of fact and conclusions of law as a remedy for the violation," the order said. I guess they should have been more clear.<g> I wonder if they have some regrets and wished they did not leave themselves open to more scrunity and their comment today probably reflects this. MSFT is going to argue the TEXT of the Appeals Court ruling of June (the question of Jackson's bias) and not what these judges had to say on that issue today about MSFT's "miscontrued" intrepration. They may have given MSFT the opportunity to take their wording on Jackson before the Surpreme Court. At the very least we should get a hearing considering how big a deal this is..they can leave their own mark on the case. Just some thoughts on the subject; I might be misunderstanding the meaning of the above comments by the Appeals Court. To me they seem like a court worried about being overturned on the Jackson issue. BTW--IMHO, MSFT is going to win in the end; they always win.....don't know how but they will. A win either in a settlement that is not harmfull to them or in the courts. Call it a gut feeling on my part.
