Well, since MSFT won't accept a break-up, they will appeal (and the appeal process takes years, not months). MSFT will now always be under the 'microscope', and that will limit how they compete. Consider this: If this ruling had come out the year before Netscape was founded, then Microsoft Internet Explorer would not have beaten Navigator, as MSFT would have been too preoccupied with the appeal (and how their business tacics ala Explorer would be viewed). BTW, I still find it humorous that Bill once insisted that it was impossible to take Internet Explorer out of the OS, yet that was one of his settlement proposals now that they have beaten Netcape!
