"MSFT's odds have gotten better" According to cnbc the doj wants a 3 way split, adding to the first proposal a 3rd company for the browser. That probably would help the stock if msft could begin charging for the browser, bringing in more revenue. JH

From the article you cite: "Microsoft submitted a 35-page document describing the evidence it had planned to present had the judge permitted a six- month procedure on a breakup. The plan promised testimony from both Gates and Ballmer, neither of whom took the witness stand in the earlier stages of the case. Microsoft said it will appeal Jackson's refusal to grant that request." Sounds like they're getting worried, but the Judge saw it as too little, too late, IMHO.
