That the SC thought it was no big deal is ONE conclusion one can draw, but not the only conclusion. The Supreme Court is perfectly capable of making a political decision--a decision where most of the members believe, right or wrong, that the lower appellate court should be allowed to review the case. The real conclusion may be that Judge Jackson's order to split the company is the wrong solution, but the Supreme Court justices don't know what is the right solution, or if some period of limbo might make it clearer ultimately whether Microsoft is CURRENTLY a monopolist or whether the label was appropriate only at the time the case was originally brought. But since I'm an investor, my real concern is what's best for shareholders, and as I've tried to point out, keeping the company as one humongous monolith isn't in the shareholders best interests.
