Hey, your long term is six months. I doubt that any ruling from the DOJ will hurt Microsoft's financial position in the next six months. They could pay a ten billion dollar fine quite easily, and besides, the appeal will take a while. All the lawsuits that will come after this will take a while, too.

As far as kicking everyone's butt before IE was integrated, Netscape was kicking their butt royally in the browser market before IE was integrated and Netscape was kicked off the OEM machines, so your statement is false.

As far as helping you with specifics, well, sorry, I don't know anyone who can give you specifics. We live in an uncertain world. But the bulk of Microsoft's revenues come from their OS and sales of Office. So their competition will come from alternative OS's and alternative office suites. We'll just have to see.
