It sounds like the judge's ruling is a lot of flash and no substance, to wit:

This doesn't smell to me like a finding that is going to lead to a judge's demands for a corporate breakup. Count that as a Microsoft win.

This doesn't smell to me like a finding that is going to lead to a judge's demand to peel Internet Explorer out of the current version, let alone next year's version, of the Windows operating system. Count that as a Microsoft win.

This doesn't smell to me like a finding that is going to lead to a judge's substantial financial penalties. Count that as a Microsoft win.

This does smell to me like a finding that is going to lead to a judge's proposed remedy of imposing an IBM (IBM:NYSE)-like consent decree: Microsoft can't do this anymore, or this, or this. Count that as a Microsoft win.
