Still can't rule out settlement prior to Jackson's ruling. " Willian Neukom, Microsoft general counsel, told a press conference that Microsoft was still trying to mediate the case through Judge Richard Posner. " And Neukom and Joe Klein shook hands yesterday.

You offer his pure opinion as if it had some credibility stemming from his identity. I think it's fair to ask to be able to evaluate that credibility. Otherwise it's just a random opinion. JMHO.

Do you all realize that within a few weeks, either CSCO or GE will dethrone MSFT as the largest U.S. company assuming the stocks of these companies continue on their current trends. Both CSCO and GE are at about market caps of $425B and MSFT is at about $485B. CSCO is trading at an astronomical trailing P/E of 167 while MSFT is trading at 59. I don't believe CSCO is growing 3 times as fast as MSFT is. Something doesn't look right here. MSFT has a serious case of the DOJ flu and they need to find a way to settle this case, and fast.
