Re: no Java in XP Windows

Well, I would have to see what was in it for Jackson. I mean, if he wanted
to let Microsoft of the hook he could have made different findings of fact.
But his findings of fact are permanent.

Remember that Jackson's problems around the statements he made affect his
career, not just the Microsoft ruling. Plus, the review won't and can't lift
his findings of fact. They can only change the decisions based on those
findings, and the appeal found, based on those findings, the MS is guilty.
The only change is that the remedy must be revisited.

Jackson's findings of fact went right along with his statements. If he
wanted a milder treatment of MS, he could simply have found them less guilty
and recommended less of a remedy. This would have gone along with his
treatment of them years before when he signed the mild consent decree.

Because of Jackson's findings, there will be a remedy and now the door is
opened for affected vendors (those damaged by MS) to file suit for specific
damages in their case.

Personally, I think Jackson was angry and upset by the way MS treated his
courtroom. I think he felt that if MS knew how much they were ticking him
off they'd be more respectful in court. But it never happened.
