<Gates if anything will find a way to profit from the injunction>
From what I heard on the news tonight, MSFT will go ahead and rewrite Windows98 to comply with the order. Many purchasers will wait until next year to buy computers to get the latest version. The injunction helps Sun, Novell, Netscape. It hurts MSFT, CPQ, Dell, Gateway. If MSFT price declines tomorrow, so will the NAZ because they are a huge part of the NAZ. Other Nasdaq and tech stocks will go down in sympathy. It will be interesting to see what happens to the internet stocks.

Business as we know it would soon come to a halt if MSFT simply closed its doors for an extended holiday. Gates holds all the cards.

microsoft is not in a position to close it's doors for an omnipotency demo. there are many many competitors with operating systems that'd love a chance at the slop bucket.
