re: <<Klein said Microsoft's abuse of monopoly power had caused 'substantial harm to consumers and innovation' and should result in 'serious remedial redress.' >> That 'consumer harm' made it into the finding of fact is the most astounding thing to me, for two reasons: 1. And I think this is the most important issue right now, but it is my understanding of law that findings of fact can not be appealed. Is there a smart law person out here that can confirm this? This means some judge that doesn't know a bit from a byte has just changed the future of technology. My sense is that this is more serious than people perceive. Given these facts, there's no way the application of law is going to go well. 2. who was harmed? Now, when you install your operating system your good to go on the web. you want navigator? go get it. I'm serious. The more software companies you have to deal with when configuring your computer the more they all get to point fingers at each other and the user is left screwed with something that won't work. With msft, you can eventually get an answer. This judge obviously doesn't work with computers. still reeling.., -k ps. I dumped almost half my position in after hours at 88.5.., still 25% into this stock. I think whatever court bs they pull will net acceptably with win2k roll out. though I gotta say, I've had this stock since '92 and am thinking about just bailing. I'm sick of this crap.
