Dan- According to the Washington Post, Microsoft had convinced Judge Posner and the Government that conduct remedies were enough: Details were not made public, but sources close to the case said the talks long ago abandoned a government demand to break up the company. Instead, discussions focused on reining in Microsoft's business practices. but Microsoft kept pushing to keep their edge: A lawyer close to the government's side of the case said: "The states were not a significant factor in the breakdown of the talks. What was decisive was Microsoft's insistence on its own proposal, which contained many loopholes and failed to address the competitive problems detailed in the court's findings." washingtonpost.com Maybe they can convince Judge Jackson also but as far as I'm concerned if the suit was about bringing competition to the computer industry the only way to do it is divestiture.
