Court Closes Microsoft Depositions nytimes.com The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia decided Wednesday to let the pretrial interviews move forward immediately but delayed for almost six more weeks a decision whether to allow the public to attend. That will come long after the antitrust trial itself is to have begun. Not that I'd want to post anything of substance here, preferring to talk and talk, post urls, quote what people said in the past and all that malarkey. But, I think it's a bit of a stretch to say the appeals court "ruled against Jackson" here. Jackson's perfectly happy to have this particular monkey taken off his back anyway, I assume. Thomas Penfield Jackson, the federal judge in the case, reluctantly agreed last week that he was bound by the 85-year-old federal law, which covers depositions in antitrust lawsuits. The rarely used law says such depositions ''shall be open to the public as freely as are trials in open court.'' Poor literalist Jackson, thinking words mean something. Bill's bigger than all that. "Windows is open", he says. Cheers, Dan.
