Haven't you heard that the DOJ is considering invoking part of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act that will allow the case to be moved directly to the Supreme Court. The basis being exactly what you are saying that the problems are near term and not long term. Add to that that MS will be mired in civil suits as soon as the Judge Jackson renders his decision in the current phase. This means a pack of woes for MS near term. Don't forget the EU is also now on MSes case and the Anti-Trust laws in Europe are not stringent as US Law. In the US the test for for violation is not just a monopoly per se but "use of the monopoly power" to gain advantage in other businesses. In Europe all that has to be shown is that you are a monopoly.

The DOJ and Judge Jackson are coming down hard on MS to force them to settle. Judge Jackson reportedly is furious that MS had pulled out of the settlement talks. When you make a Judge angry one had better watch out. I am not a lawyer I just play one on "All About SUNW." <g>
