You should read a bit more carefully. No where do I say that Apple should use Microsoft as precedent when it comes to impartiality of judge. Lack of impartiality has been grounds for appeal for a very long time. Anyway, given that Apple filed their appeal last winter/spring and I didn't see any mention in the posted appeal, it's somewhat too late for me to "want Apple to use Microsoft as precedent" regardless. What I am pointing out is that there are a lot of parallels between the two cases. The basic facts of the Microsoft case (that Microsoft was bundling a browser for free while others were trying to sell browsers) are rather different the basic facts in the Apple case (that Apple proposed moving to an agency model rather than a wholesale model).
