This article from your post tell me that nothing is going to happen. It even spells out that if you spend billions to secure a marketplace for your product, then it should be yours. I don't think that's quite what it says. Note the last paragraph. He makes an exception that applies directly to the Microsoft case: ''...antitrust should probably concentrate in most situations on its traditional role of ensuring that companies achieve network monopolies through legitimate competitive conduct, and that they maintain the network dominance only through superior skill, foresight and industry -- not by unnecessarily exclusionary conduct.''

I'm thinking that the analyst the first part of the week, Mary something (?), knew something from the FTC or had wind of this coming out. It feels like this trial is starting to be more of trash MSFT by their competitors. At this point, it doesn't like the MSFT bashers will get what they want. I have to put more belief in what that analysts said, "slap on the wrist". Maybe the FTC report is why MSFT closed up today? This doesn't bode well for Toysoldier. Thank You JK
