The U5 Court of Appeals partly reversed the breakup of Microsoft after noting U5 District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson made derogatory comments during and after the trial. Jackson called Gates Napoleonic and arrogant, and said Microsoft officials do not act like grown-ups. He defended the breakup as necessary while criticizing appellate judges as supercilious and lightly experienced.
