Having actually taken the time to read this, it does exactly what I wanted. MS is a convicted criminal (altho certainly appeals are still on the way). I was pushing for the judge to accept the original settlement, and she actually went beyond that, and in fact named Java specifically.

America, ain't it grand?
Odd, I've never seen the devotees of a company happy that their favorite company is now facing nearly $50 billion in lawsuits . . .
Let's see... the other option was having the company sliced and diced to the delight of socialists. Bring the lawsuits on!
Even if what you predict is true it will be a simple matter for Microsoft to make the lawsuits go away. They haven't been building up their cash reserves for nothing.
