Any views on the negative impact of the judge's decision in the SUNW vs. MSFT on CPQ's PC sales short term? According to this news item, the judge, "gave the [MSFT] software group 90 days to modify its Windows 98 operating system or pull it from the market."

Given that the Windows 98 of today is likely to be different than that available in 90 days, is this going to be enough to put peoples' new PC purchases on the back burner for a few months?

As a shareholder of SUNW, I'm happy with the decision. As a shareholder of CPQ, I think I'm getting a headache.
