>>>analyst Rick Sherland (who follows it better than anyone) says it will not hurt MSFT. ...oh yeah, what did you expect Rick to say? If MSFT was in trouble the ANALysts would be the last to tell you. Benny

William, It's the second victory in the same suit. The first was for trademark infringement & this is copyright as well. Judges don't, as a rule, issue injuctions in cases unless they believe the requesting party will prevail in trial. This is a contract dispute & most of the cards are on the table right now. It does M$FT little good to prolong the agony. Critical mass is pushing steadily towards cross-platform 100% pure Java. M$FT should read the handwriting on the wall. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Java is a long-term problem for M$FT's desktop strategy.
