Would Balmer settle after elections?

Q. In order to preserve shareholder value and
proceed confidently with .Net, Gartner advises
Microsoft to settle this case, even if it means
coming up with an offer that includes splitting
the company. Do you wish at this point Microsoft
had settled?

I always wish we'd settled the case, but on an
appropriate basis for us to proceed as a company.
It's not our grand desire to spend the time that
we are spending in the legal system. So yeah, I
wish we didn't have this thing ongoing, but we
would not accept the settlement that impairs our
ability to serve our customers.
