Judges Voice Doubt on Order Last Year to Split Microsoft
In Monday's arguments, the judges expressed deep
skepticism about the government's central theory —
that the company illegally maintained a monopoly
in computer software. With today's comments, the
judges cast fresh doubt that the order by Judge
Thomas Penfield Jackson would survive the appeals
court's review.

In three hours of oral arguments today, the judges of
the United States Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia Circuit, pilloried Judge Jackson for
granting interviews with the news media, including
The New York Times, before the case was
completed.
