The justices took a dim view of the government's "tying" claim that Internet Explorer and Microsoft Windows were illegally linked together, experts said, and tore into the idea that Explorer monopolizes the browser market. District court judge Thomas Penfield Jackson may never have proved there is a separate browser market to monopolize, the judges said. "They were brutal on the government lawyers … I think there's a 50 percent chance that the entire thing will be vacated," said Bob Lande, a law professor at the University of Baltimore. Unusually, the judges also spent this afternoon criticizing Jackson's out-of-court statements during the trial, where he badmouthed Microsoft to journalist Ken Auletta and others. Auletta later published some of Jackson's statements in a book, World War 3.0.
