There is another possible way out for microsoft. Microsoft could rally grass roots public support and intensely lobby congress to legislate an antitrust exemption.<g> Just like professional baseball! Of course, President Clinton would veto any such legislation. I wonder if there would be enough political support to over-ride a veto? Then again, an antitrust exemption would most likely not be considered unless and until all appeals are exhausted. By that time, we will have a new president. As the great philosopher, Yogi Bera, once said: "It ain't over until it's over.".

Yaacov - not ignoring you - I am an engineer, not a lawyer, and I have no idea what would happen of MSFT and the DOJ came to terms after the judgement has been announced. Jackson seemed to indicate that such a settlement was possible. Frankly, I doubt that MSFT would settle now after the DOJ rejected their earlier attempts. They probably feel that they would do better with a less partial judiciary at the appellate level.
