It's a given that MSFT will appeal should Jackson rule against them at this level. It's also a given that an appeal will take well in excess of a year maybe two.

Knowing the above, if you were the DOJ/Judge/AG, would you rather have MSFT continue doing what is has been doing all along and put another 100+ small companies out of business over the next two years, or would you rather have MSFT accept a lesser penalty than that which might be ideal in the DOJ/AGs view. Not to mention that MSFT could pull off the OJ/Clinton at the appeals level and walk away free as a bird.

You might say it all boils down to the lesser of two evils.

Remember folks, it's never too late to buy MSFT!!
