johnd--I think your post supports my earlier post. Read these two sentences from the article you posted carefully. The appellate court is not going to award victory to MSFT. They are very likely to change the remedy to exclude a breakup, but keep intact the DOJ win. That means billions of dollars to be paid in the (yet to be filed) private lawsuits. JMHO "I don't think the (appeals court) is simply going to sweep aside the Jackson decision, but it means that the result is going to be much diminished from what the government actually achieved with Jackson." None of the legal experts interviewed for this article suggested that a stop at the court of appeals would undo all the penalties Jackson has imposed on the company. But they were unanimous in saying the intermediary step probably would weaken penalties the government does get.
