if JUDGE @$$HOLE doesn't kill MSFT

Unsolicited legal opinion -- Judge @$$HOLE has already decided to trifurcate MSFT (That's a legal term that means to chop off two limbs, leaving the subject in three pieces and bleeding profusely). Whenever you see a judge talk openly about going beyond the remedy that the prevailing party has requested, you pretty much know that he has come unhinged and is basically just p*ssed off at the losing party.

In a perverse way, that will help MSFT on appeal. Appellate courts don't like unnecessarily broad antitrust remedies, so the wilder the judge goes off on MSFT, the better chance MSFT has of convincing an appeals court that the whole thing should be thrown out and replaced by some milder punishment.

In the short term, though, the stock will continue to suffer.
