I don't think Microsoft wants to see a verdict. That would open them up to a huge number of civil suits with treble damages. Better to cut losses early. If they enter into a stipulation before the judge issues his decision, they get out without having to admit wrongdoing. Very important not only psychologically but also to stem further losses from individual suits. And there WILL be individual suits against a defendant with pockets this deep.
