Annette Sometime back, Judge JackSon during the court hearings, made a comment about MSFT. The investing community read that comment as positive for MSFT and the stock went up considerably the next day. But since then, the MSFT team of lawyers and technocrats imported their arm twisting tactics into Judge Jackson's court and on several occasions they were caught "twisting the facts" in court. This angered everybody including the judge. The big question is whether MSFT broke the law and if they did then it is a crime. Now, which law slaps somebody on the wrist for a crime? So a slap on the wrist is not what we Americans paid all the expenses for. I would presume that companies like AOL (NSCP), SUN, DELL, CPQ etc. would be part of the judgement process. They would be asked to provide input into the type of punishment for the crime. And the judge will preside over to ensure that the punishment befits the crime and that the rivals do not gang up to finish MSFT. The ball already has been set rolling by MSFT. They have announced today that OFFICE 2000 will be available for remote use to applications on the Internet.
