	Thomas Penfield Jackson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Penfield Jackson (born January 10, 1937) was a US District Court Judge for the District of Columbia.
		Statements of this nature by a presiding judge while the case is still being argued are considered to be a violation of ethical judicial conduct and were later found to have compromised the integrity of the judicial process.
		Judge Jackson, in spite of the findings of the appellate court, continued to deny that any such bias existed and insisted that any perception of bias in the minds of observers was created by Microsoft, though he declined to explain how this was done or even how it was possible.

	SatireWire \| Jackson Denies Bias Against "Guilty Microsoft Bastards"
		Jackson's ex parte remarks to the press, which include comparing Microsoft to a criminal street gang, and its executives to spoiled children, drew unprecedented wrath from the U.S. Court of Appeals Tuesday.
		The judges hinted that Jackson, who last year ruled Microsoft was a monopoly and should be broken up, would be removed from the case should it be remanded to a lower court.
		Jackson, however, urged the court to allow him to once again oversee the case, promising to welcome the litigants with an unbiased mind, and pledging to henceforth to preclude himself from making any public comments, derogatory or otherwise, regarding Microsoft.

	Wired News: Real MS Verdict: Jackson Blew It
		WASHINGTON -- Thomas Penfield Jackson is not merely a federal judge with a soft spot for government prosecutors and an undisguised contempt for Microsoft executives.
		On Thursday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that Jackson's bad habit of trash-talking Microsoft honchos -- likening them to gangland killers and stubborn mules who should be walloped with a 2-by-4 -- was ample reason to overturn his breakup order and return the case to a different judge.
		Remaining silent were Jackson's fans in the Washington establishment, who cheered the rotund jurist last year when he was denouncing Microsoft chairman Bill Gates as unethical and compared him to a "drug trafficker" and Napoleon.

	Antitrust case's big loser: The judge \| CNET News.com

		The appeals judges found that Jackson deserved to be removed from the case for speaking to the press in clandestine discussions delving deeply into issues at the heart of the case.
		Jackson's removal from one of the highest-profile civil cases in years caps a career that has been colored by controversy since his appointment to the federal bench by President Ronald Reagan nearly 20 years ago.

		When Microsoft antitrust trial Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson began publicly sharing his opinion about this historic case, he did more damage to the government's position than Microsoft managed to do throughout the 78-day trial.
		The appellate judges were aghast at Jackson's breach of judicial discretion for making such statements as comparing Microsoft executives to gang members convicted of murder, as charged in a brief by Microsoft.
		"Jackson's conduct has so clouded this whole proceeding that the judges are just doubtful about the whole works," said Herb Hovenkamp, an antitrust expert and law professor at the University of Iowa.

		The list of companies whose abuse by Microsoft is chronicled by U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's findings of fact in the government's antitrust case includes most of the big names in the U.S. computer industry.
		In the main, however, Jackson's opus is a comprehensive history of Microsoft's efforts to destroy Netscape, the one software company that Bill Gates and his lieutenants saw as a serious threat to Microsoft's dominance of the personal computer world.
		Less obvious in Jackson's findings, and in many ways a more interesting question, is the "why." The story that comes through in the findings is that Microsoft, and Gates specifically, might have seen Netscape as more of a threat than it ever really was.

	Microsoft remains unrepentant, says antitrust judge
		Jackson didn't criticize the settlement negotiated by the Bush administration, which drew objections from half the 19 states that had joined the Justice Department in suing Microsoft.
		Jackson said the breakup would have promoted competition by creating a company that sold software applications, including Internet browsers and another that sold operating systems for computers.
		Jackson said he ordered the breakup without more hearings because each side would continue to produce "equally eminent experts" who "were in good faith in almost total disagreement about every issue in the case."

		Jackson is, of course, the colossus who ordered the dismantling of Microsoft Corp. after a long antitrust trial.
		As the judge was contemplating his demolition of one of the most innovative of the high-tech tribes, he was chastised by a unanimous U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia that reversed his order.
		While letting stand Jackson's ruling that some of Microsoft's competitive practices violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, the appellate ruling nevertheless was searing.

		Jackson concludes that "Microsoft maintained its monopoly power by anti-competitive means and attempted to monopolize the Web browser market, both in violation of Section 2 [of the Sherman Act].
		Now, in today's findings, Jackson fires a preemptive round at his appellate colleagues, citing a couple of Supreme Court decisions as precedents for his decision on the "tying" issue -- thereby, as it were, attempting to trump the appellate court by going over its head.
		This legal conversation is critical because, ultimately, the remedies Jackson's court proposes are meaningless until and unless his judgments are upheld in higher courts.

		Jackson got himself into this sort of trouble while presiding over the criminal case against the then-mayor of Washington, D.C., Marion Barry.

	The big breakup - Jun. 7, 2000
		In a scathing memorandum that accompanied his 14-page decision, U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson said he was ordering the breakup because the company was totally unwilling to admit that it had violated federal antitrust law and has shown no willingness to modify its business conduct.
		Jackson ordered Microsoft to be divided into a PC operating systems company, and a company that holds the remainder of its business, including its dominant Office suite of applications, the Internet Explorer Web browser and other businesses.
		Jackson's ruling also imposes a series of restrictions on Microsoft's conduct, which take effect in 90 days and remain in place for three years as the case moves through the appeals process.

		Microsoft attorneys told the justices that Jackson's off-the-record chats were so "egregious" that not only should Jackson's breakup order be tossed in the trash, but their client needs a new trial with a replacement judge.
		Microsoft claims that because some of Jackson's negative comments to reporters came before his first ruling, the so-called findings of fact that described many of Microsoft's activities as muscular strong-arming, both rulings should be discarded.
		On the other hand, Jackson's decision that Microsoft had illegally "tied" the browser is history, as is his finding that Microsoft tried to monopolize the browser market to the detriment of Netscape Navigator.

		Everybody leads with yesterday's order by federal judge Thomas Penfield Jackson that Microsoft should, for at least 10 years, be broken into two companies--one that would make the Windows operating system and one that would make application programs and also include all Microsoft's non-Windows businesses.
		Jackson's ruling also imposes restrictions on the company's behavior--which means computer and software manufacturers will have powers of access and choice concerning Windows they've never gotten previously in any deal they've struck with Microsoft.
		The Washington Post fronts an interview with Judge Jackson in which he says he would have much preferred a conduct remedy instead of the structural one he finally arrived at, and in which Jackson reminds that at even at this late date an out-of-court settlement would still be possible and preferable.

		There is no jury in the landmark Microsoft antitrust trial, so it will be up to Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson to determine whether the software giant has abused its monopoly on the desktop--and, if so, what to do about it.
		Judge Jackson initially said he could run through the trial in six weeks, but his leanings showed themselves when he allowed trustbusters to expand the case beyond Netscape and the browser wars to look at Microsoft's muscle throughout the computer industry.
		Judge Jackson's decision, no matter what it is, will have huge reverberations throughout the high-tech world and affect the economy in general.
