John- If you look at the symbol for Justice, it is a lady wearing a robe, blindfolded, holding scales which are balanced. If Microsoft tipped the scales in their favor by acting unlawfully then they are required to spend whatever it takes to put the scales back to even. That's not Alice in Wonderland, that's the way our laws work. If others are harmed by Microsofts unlawful actions, say developers, OEMs, or customers, they are able to bring suit against Microsoft to recover their losses. Everybody carries this liability credit card around. Most people never use it. Other do and they are really surprised at the size of the bill they ran up when it comes time to pay. Harvey

Can you find any legal experts, other than MSFTs, that will argue that the actions taken by the judge are either improper or uncommon? I have seen at least two or three articles with opinions by other legal experts indicating that the judge's actions are neither improper nor uncommon, and that he has not outstepped his bounds. I'm certainly no legal expert, and I doubt you are, so please don't say things like "the judge is getting this thing all mucked up" when you don't know in the slightest whether he really is or not. Otherwise, all of your argumentation is just a bunch of bull.
