I think it will bring on a flood of lawsuits which is probably why microsoft is already talking about settling ASAP..

I dunno about it being a black hole of an investment tho.. Alot of people will buy on any dips in the hopes that it does get broken apart..

Im taking Tims approach of waiting until the dust settles.. Hes usually right on with these as well

"If Microsoft does not settle and Jackson's rulings are upheld, other firms could use the
findings for the basis of civil lawsuits against Microsoft, experts said. Firms could cite
Jackson's finding that Microsoft was a monopoly and would only need to prove their
company was injured by abuse of that monopoly power"

Does the judges ruling on the msft case give ammo to companies like aol and ibm to sue the pants off of msft for damages that resulted from msft's behavior?

One can only hope...:-)
