There are three topics you just can't bring up in polite company without spoiling for a fight: politics, religion, and Microsoft. All three involve power, influence, wealth, and potential suffering. And all three can leave rationality and fairness in the dust. So it was a major break for Microsoft when the U.S. Court of Appeals recently let the company off the hook a bit and blasted Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's breakup plan and his character. Recently, in a 7-0 vote, the Appeals Court excoriated Jackson for "deliberate, repeated, egregious, and flagrant" comments to reporters during the trial that compared Microsoft to drug gangs, and Bill Gates to an arrogant Napoleon and a mule who needed to be "whopped . . . upside the head." (It probably didn't help that Jackson earlier branded U.S. Court of Appeals judges as supercilious, inexperienced, and superficial.) | ||
