limtex: The act was senseless but I would avoid extrapolating a hyperbolic conclusion about the damage. The judge has come out of the closet as being foresquare and not impartially in the government's corner with a finding of "facts" that should have been anticipated given his behavior in the court room. Given the form of the trial and the type of evidence presented the government still has a long way to go now that they have lost their accomplice in Judge Jackson. MSFT has a great product cycle coming and this whole thing will take years to work its way through the courts.

The "findings" more like leavings of the government as articulate by this document are not very different from the histrionics offered as evidence in the court room. There doesn't seem to be any harm to the consumer that is proven by this 207 document which is more a defense of the judge's vanity than a legal treatise. He has been overturned twice before and he should be overturned again. Before this case is done there will be a new government and we will see what proceeds from that event.

It's about time this happen. A few months earlier, Janet Reno was
proposing spliting Microsoft into a few separate company. Once this
happens, the illegal monopoly will stop. She was saying there will be:

an internet company
an application software company
an OS company

Realistically, all we need is to separate the OS side from the rest,
that way, there will be NO MORE monopoly.
