REDMOND: Microsoft isn't saying U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson made the wrong decision. It's just that nobody asked him for one. The software colossus lodged an appeal Monday against Jackson's preliminary injunction ? on the grounds that the judge overstepped his authority...
...matter before the court was whether Microsoft could be held in contempt for violating a consent decree entered in 1995," said William H.

Not surprisingly, Joel Klein ? the DOJ's top trustbuster ? was cock-a-hoop. "Starting tomorrow, choice will be restored to the public," he told reporters Thursday.
