The sad thing is that it probably won't do anything for the stock tomorrow while MSFT will trade is the 90s, up more than 10% from today. Had I put my money in MSFT instead of SUN I could now retire... Dishartening... Still counting on SUN though, I'll just be a little older... chapter11

It is good news that sunw won its first day in court. But, what is the material effect to sun's earnings due to this? Is there a price that MSFT might be asked to pay to rap its knuckles for breaking the licensing deal? If not, this is a hollow victory for sun. Microsoft has already won because it has already established Internet Explorer. Will people stop using IE or a java product from msft, just because it will not say java compatible?? I think, unfortunately for us sunw shareholders, there is no upside in this news. Also, there is no downside for msft shareholders in the longterm. My 0.02 dollars worth.
