AOLs spent $4B (yes that's billion) to acquire NSCP's browser since the case started. Meanwhile any IPO with "internet" in the abstract automatically doubles in its first day of trading. Only a government bureaucrat could view a screaming market like this as "diminishing investment". What a bunch of useless idiots. "Doesn't yahoo" Jackson will most likely rule against MSFT, but actually I think the DOJ has more at risk than MSFT this time. If they get a weak ruling, it's becomes the third strike in an ill-advised prosecution, inviting "you spent $40M taxpayer dollars for that?" criticism. * Bingaman consent decree has zero market impact (strike 1) * Appeals court says browser can be integrated into Windows (strike 2) * (strike 3?)
