Micheal, I think the states are just sending out their toughest proposals out so that they would appear to be giving up a ground in the negotiations. It is simply a bargaining tactic. Microsoft and the goverment are going settle, i feel, but not yet. It would probably happen after the rebuttal phase and just before a decision is rendered by Jackson. I feel that if Jackson rules against MSFT, he would be cautious about the remedies as he knows he could easily be overturned by appeals which is going to make him look bad (and not to mention biased). This is why Microsoft is not going to settle unless the states become reasonable. However, the states won't become reasonable until just before a verdict.
