It is actually best for the company/stock in the long term if a few states litigate to the very end. This increases the chances of more things being overturned on appeal in the appeals court and supreme court.

Another benefit of continued litigation is that there is always the possibility of good news around the corner. So, the stock has a good floor created from "not all good news is factored in" investors. In the absence of such possible good news, the stock becomes a function of the economic strength and starts to look less attractive than stocks like csco/jnpr for the aggressive investor. Just imho. EDIT: Just read on yhoo.com that NY may have reached a separate settlement with msft and now only MA and CA are the BIG holdouts.
