No, I don't think the ruling will upset the rest of the market. I don't have any idea how to play Microsoft, though. The more I read, the more I think that IBM could pursue a huge treble-damages case against them. I'm not a lawyer, though...not even an amateur one. I hope for Microsoft's shareholders' sake that the stock remains stable. For all of 1996 and the first half of 1997 I spent all my time on the Netscape vs Microsoft thread aguing many of the points that were issued in these findings. It was quite a time and the contributors ran the gamut from players like Thomas Reardon (mentioned in the findings), to brilliant then-student Sal Habash, lawyer Gerald Lampton, Netscape employees Nick Zaharias and Jim Ash, Reg Middleton..all sorts. It was the most stimulating experience I've had here. The thread is dead now, but there are 12,000 posts there that make great reading in light of Judge Jackson's ruling yesterday...most from the time these events unfolded.
