You're probably right. Sounds like you know more about it than I do.

Netscape, now owned by America Online (AOL), has long maintained that Microsoft's monopoly caused it to lose its share of the browser market. The browser wars played a central role in the Justice Department's case. Local radio reported that Netscape employees were holding a party to celebrate the 207-page "finding of facts". news2.thls.bbc.co.uk

Tradesman, Wall street will keep supporting and his stock not because MSFT is not guilty and will given proper sentencing but because there are so many lazy a fund managers have money poured there. They will also bring the argument with all sorts of speculative crap to keep Joe the six packs to hold the stock (bag) for a long time while they keep selling off. But thanks to internet (thanks to AOL) now those six packs are getting much more smart and suavy and they may be smart enough to move out. I think Bill boys DLL monopoly is over. If that happens all the OEMs will start flexing their muzzle. INTC will start flexing its muzzle. AOL's Netscape navigator will get a new life. All ISPs may start moving away from IE provided AOL allows them to customize netscape browser. MSFT stock will go a slow decline for next few months. In the short term, MSFT's put options may be assigned (MSFT made close 2 billion dollar in selling their own put -which is nothing but SEC allowed stock manipulation by Microsoft.) Once stock price starts declining, retaining good talent will become increasingly a challenge for MSFT. It will take a few quarters to see any dent on MSFT's bottom line being affected. For AOL it will be a great opportunity as the case will keep MSFT is flux and hence a crucial time for AOL to keep advancing and enlarging its hold. All JMHO. -NAT How many of you have read Judge Jackson's FOF?** It is a very good place to learn about MSFT's all illegal business tactics. If you have not have a look here: aol.com
