More on Thomas Penfield Jackson
Description from Wikipedia:
Thomas Penfield Jackson (born January 10, 1937) was a United States District Court Judge for the District of Columbia. He was appointed in 1982 after serving as president of the District of Columbia Bar Association. He is currently an attorney with the Jackson and Campbell, P.C., law firm. He graduated from Dartmouth College in the class of 1958, and from Harvard Law School in 1964.
He is perhaps best known to the public as the presiding judge in the United States v. Microsoft case. Jackson was the first in a series of judges worldwide to determine that Microsoft abuses its market position and monopoly power in ways that are highly detrimental to innovation in the industry and consumers of the products. The summary paragraph in his findings of fact is quoted below.
Most harmful of all is the message that Microsoft's actions have conveyed to every enterprise with the potential to
innovate in the computer industry. Through its conduct toward Netscape, IBM, Compaq, Intel, and others, Microsoft has
demonstrated that it will use its prodigious market power and immense profits to harm any firm that insists on pursuing
initiatives that could intensify competition against one of Microsoft's core products. Microsoft's past success in
hurting such companies and stifling innovation deters investment in technologies and businesses that exhibit the
potential to threaten Microsoft. The ultimate result is that some innovations that would truly benefit consumers never
occur for the sole reason that they do not coincide with Microsoft's self-interest.
On the day of the sentencing, the gang members maintained that they had done nothing wrong, saying that the whole case
was a conspiracy by the white power structure to destroy them. I am now under no illusions that miscreants will realize
that other parts of society view them that way."
