But now, we know what the judge wants !! FOF is one thing, but the ruling is another, and both can be irrelevant !!!Depending on how the judge explain the law !!! However, if both parties settled before the ruling, the judge is out of the hook !!!

[THE DOJ has not recieved a ruling, positive or negative, at all. All we have thus far is a finding of fact. The legal decision is still pending.] You're correct, of course, but the way the FoF is worded it would be beyond surprising for MSFT to get anything less than slammed in the actual ruling. There's very little uncertainty left on that count. I believe that the politically minded AGs got most of what they wanted from this public statement from the judge. The fact they are admitting they really haven't thought about a remedy says volumes about their motives IMO. They don't have any idea how to actually make things better, they just want MSFT under the government thumb.
