Think about this:

Even if Judge Jackson came out with ruling that MSFT violated Sherman
anti-trust act, and the appellate court is bypassed and case directly
goes to Supreme court, the following must happen.

Step1: Judge declares MSFT violated Sheman-act May be by Mid-March?
Step2: MSFT appeals - End of March
Step3: DOJ files for bypassing appeals
Step4: DOJ request is granted (But note remedies must be found before Sup. ct.
Step5: Jackson goes through remedies trail : Till October 2000
Step6: Supreme court trial ; 1year till October 2001 - early 2002.

In between: 100% of business on the planet would have installed Windows2000 and
running major business with it.

Be careful what you wish for, because you might get it. If MSFT drags this thing out, the shareholders are the ones who will suffer, IMHO.
