2) MS may just remove all Java support from their products, at least for some period
of time. What does this mean? People either won't be able to run Java one their
Windows machines, or they will have to use an inferior VM from Sun or someone
else. Does this help consumers?

Good if they do. 3rd parties will jump in on the opportune. MS has lost its credibility and trust. This will be even better.

I'm willing to bet MS already has a completely compatible VM and toolset, just
waiting for this eventuality.

I'm willing to bet the same too. see, Billy's a schemer.. this won't escape him. I'm willing to bet he has a non-IE win98 too to please the government, if at all the need arises.

I can't see how this ruling was even possible, since Sun's licensing agreement
specifically states:
