Why did the judge announce he would be making a decision 2 minutes after MSFT reported earnings? Especially since he didn't even have his decision ready.

Couldn't he have waited, say, until a couple days before he had his decision ready? I'm baffled as to the reasoning behind this, beyond it being a way that the government can toy with Microsoft and it's sharholders.

It's kind of hilarious, a 75 dollar an hour judge playing with billions of dollars in market cap because it amuses him and feeds his ego. He gets to vicariously feel the power of Bill Gates, whom he seemingly so despises. <eom>
