It's been fairly obvious, from the beginning of the trial, that Microsoft expected the judge to side with the plaintiffs. They knew that they didn't have a snowballs chance in hell in front of the judge selected to try the case. Microsoft entered every conceivable argument into the record so that they would have as many avenues as possible to get the judges verdict overturned on appeal. If the verdict is overturned on appeal the judges findings are null and void and Res Judicata would no longer apply. It is my opinion that microsoft would like to settle on terms that are acceptable to both sides. If they can't get terms that are acceptable to them they are fully prepared to take the case to the appellate court where they have a better chance of getting the case dismissed, sent back for re-trial, or possibly sent back to a lower court with explicit instructions as to what the appeals court wants in the way of changes in the rulings made during the trial. The real question is what are microsofts chances on appeal. Steve
