JFD, I agree. The worst case scenario is now laid out. It can only be better than this. Of course Bill and Steve will say it is bad for shareholder value. However, neither knows about valuation in the high tech world anyways. (although I have respect and admiration for both). With the worst case scenario on the table----it can only get better. Many experts now feel that at worst, there may not be much loss for shareholders of MSFT if the scenario unfolds. Having stated that---there is only a small chance of this getting through all levels of appeals. Furthermore, considering that the DOJ/STates have a plan for temporary measures, I don't see a case being made for an expedited appeal straight to the Supreme Court. That is a big factor in this case. Even if they request it, the Supreme Court can say the temporary measures are adequate and send it back to the regular appeals process. If there were no temporary measures, I would be a little more concerned (but only a little).
