It's all over but the crying ... you lose, Harr. All that effort for what? Disclosure of APIs? Giving OEMs leverage to sell other OSes (even though they won't)? IE is still part of Windows. MS wasn't broken up. And Java isn't on the table.

They tried their best to stop a business from doing business, didn't they? If your good and you get a market share, then you're evil. If Chevy had 90% of the market...
But then Gates is worth billions, and that's what pisses these whiners off.
I only wish I could come up with a business which was run as well as Gates did with MS and got a high market share. But then again I wouldn't want all my fellow American's suing me til the cows come home.

I hope they name their next OS "Penis Envy"

I think the judge made reasonable alterations to the original proposed judgement, and that's all anyone reasonable really wanted to see happen. I don't want Microsoft split up or closed down; I just want to see other companies to have some reasonable chance at competition.
