I had similar feelings that MSFT won't settle until recently. But after appointment fo Posner, I think otherwise. I think Posner will lean heavily towards MSFT. He will say MSFT hasn't harmed consumers and actually benefited. He will say MSFT should have ability to invent, integrate and bundle, etc.. The States and DOJ may be divided already. They will relaize that it is better to settle when they agree to at least some extent. Who knows after the elections. The players and personalities, agendas, biases change after Year 2000 elections. States and DOJ will have a weaker hand after elections. Especially if Bush wins. Go back to 95 when MSFT settled with the govt. Same might happen. It will be a settlement that involves a small slap in hand - such as I won't do XYZ inb my biz practice. Anyway I look at it, MSFT is about 30% discount to where it should be, now.
