Nobody's going to award them $1B in cash or even close. As for Java being bundled, I guess that's what they're hoping for in the settlement. I guess if they win, what it would establish is that a lot of other software companies can also demand to have things bundled (even if they have to do it through case-by-case litigation), and they get a de-facto implementation of part of the remedy the DOJ caved on.

Perhaps it's because Windows XP runs only with IE6.0 and IE6.0 has no java support builtin. If you go to a URL that has java code in it, IE6.0 barfs. Each user has to go to MSFT web site and find the JVM and install it themselves, manually. Most PCs/Laptops are now shipping with XP home or PRO. You think the PC user who can barely turn his PC on is going to go hunt up a copy of the JVM and do a manual install?
