Why doesn't Reno call ORCL's Larry Ellison Rober Baron? He is the richest man worth 50+ Billions. ORCL killed Informix and Sybase using all sorts of heavy hand Ask Jim White or Mark Hoffman. If govts arguments were true then CSCO (90% share in high end routers), INTC (90% share in CPUs, almost 100% in 64-bit with Itanium), AOL (80% ISP); ORCL (dominant in Unix db market)should all be broken up. Arguments of break-up won't hold water. TPJ, Govt I think are in a tight spot. They can (a) Ask solicitor general to bypass appeals court and go directly to supreme court. If solicitor general rejects to hear before appeals court, they already have antogonized the appeals court and will find it very hard. (b) Try to go through appeals process and not try to bypass. This is also a gamble as appeals court has the view that MSFT is expressing. In either case, the case was supposed to be about tying Internet explorer to WIndows98, which the appeals court already approved and ruled in favor of MSFT.
