On that note.. read to the end and find:

"Lawyers filed the majority of the lawsuits after Jackson issued his
devastating two-part ruling against Microsoft in November 1999 and April
2000. Most of the lawsuits were filed on behalf of consumers, alleging
Microsoft overcharged them as much as $40 for Windows.

Four lawsuits filed by four Microsoft competitors--AOL Time Warner's
Netscape division, Be Inc., Burst.com and Sun--also are pending in
Baltimore."

Anyone selling their copy of win2k? ha.

Want to bet who sells out first?, my money is on SUN.

MICROSOFT, DOJ, STATES FILE ANTITRUST SETTLEMENT

On Friday, Microsoft and the Justice Department filed a revised
settlement in the software giant's long-standing antitrust case.

----------------------------------------

"By writing an opinion that the settlement is within the reaches of the
public interest and that she was not convinced by the states' evidence,
she's basically delivered an appeals-proof decision," said Bob Lande, an
antitrust professor with the University of Baltimore Law School. "There's
no way she is going to be overturned on appeal."

Hillard Sterling, an antitrust attorney with Much Shelist in Chicago,
expressed a similar view.
