AG's representing states that are home to MSFT's competitors have the additional agenda of attempting to use the courts to try to "rig the game" and protect their constituent companies from the consequences of open competition in the market That is another sign of stupidity at the DOJ level. These guys had no excuse as they represented the country itself. Funny thing is that it all seems to be backfiring on these guys...thanks to the incredible performance by Judge Jackson. That will become evident in the coming days or weeks. The damage would be the possibility of having the technology power base outside the USA. The odds of that go up with a weaker Microsoft. There is no way in hell, another country would have taken this type of short-sighted action against their own. We have to be thankfull that Jackson screwed up big. A ruling against Microsoft that was less harsh might have actually had a greater chance of standing Appeals scrutiny. Thank You Judge Jackson! <ggg>
