I agree with you about the jury, but not about MSFT being tried in a court of law. The DOJ is clearly trying this case in the court of public opinion first. Where do you think all these leaks to the press come from about possible filing dates and whatnot? The DOJ is not playing fair and a Senator has already expressed his concern that the DOJ is rousing bad publicity against MSFT.

Mr. Scotsman, Then they will kick out anyone who has heard of Microsoft or has had any Microsoft product touch their life. So basically the trial will move to Tibet and that will be the last anyone hears of the DOJ. (I feel sorry for Tibet.) Thank you JK

And I will bet a ton that a whole bunch own MSFT. Of course they are behind it. They don't want anything to happen to the good times. Unfortunately, in the DOJ, things are tried in a court of law, not the court of public opinion. Any other way would be a dangerous precedent. Also if this goes before a court of law with a jury, I think MSFT is in trouble. The first thing that will kick out a potential jurist is if he owns any MSFT stock or a fund that owns it. Since that will eliminate a lot of people with intellegence, I think you will find the jury much more anti large company and much more anti MSFT. The next thing that will kick out a potential jurist is if they have Win95 on their PC at home or work, if they use or own a PC. What are you left with? Anti-Softies and people that have never used a PC. Scary. If this ever goes before that type of jury, rational semi-intelligent Americans will want to puke all over again at the state of justice in this country, or the lack thereof.
