MS: Trials and Tribulations is a great take on Judge Jackson. Some of this is what I suspected very early on; that Jackson is quite ignorant of the kinds of technological issues involved in the development of operating systems and of the market at large.

And by the way: What business, really, does this administration's Justice Department have in invoking the "rule of law" in this case? What I mean by this is, in all the self-congratulatory photo-ops featuring Janet Reno and homunculus-in-residence Joel Klein, they kept referring to "upholding the rule of law" in the Microsoft case. Putting aside the fact that the anti-trust laws are so squishy the government itself cannot provide any guidelines for following them, who are these people kidding? The most corrupt justice department in recent memory, appointed by one of the most corrupt presidents ever, has no business waving its rule of law index-finger at Microsoft or anyone else. These are people who, frankly, don't contribute a a tenth to society that Microsoft, with all of its flaws, has, and certainly haven't demonstrated ethical fortitude on issues they SHOULD be spending time on.
