I think after Monday's announcement, the DOJ's case against MSFT brought about by NSCP is over. Why? 1) NSCP did not exist as a company, and there is no base anymore for DOJ to fight against MSFT. There is no reason for DOJ to ask MSFT to market the NN which will have a very big distribution channel through AOL's existing market. 2) NN ( From new AOL) + Java ( From SUN) + AOL's distribution channel means a big threat to MSFT, so, it is MSFT who got hurt , not the old NSCP. 3) MSFT will rearm itself to face the fierce competition from New AOL + SUN, and probably will think of buying Yahoo. Yahoo can not compete alone against AOL + SUNW, and will probably accept the offer.
