Those were old reports by MSFT sworn enemies.

Unless the judge does something totally outrageous, like lets MSFT off completely and slaps a restraining order on Scott McNealy so he can't talk down Bill Gates anymore, I don't think the states are going to get much more mileage out of the MSFT case. I think there will be some more legal wrangling after today, over details given that the judge is likely to tweak the settlement some, but I find it hard to imagine that MSFT will still have the looming threat over it after today's decision.

I could be wrong: I'm no legal expert, I don't know anything about the judge, and I haven't followed the case since the settlement was put before the judge, but this whole episode just feels like yesterday's news. The browser wars!

MSFT been playing real stupid recently. Ballmer knows how to talk things down by talking like an idiot. If judge doesn't come down hard MSFT going to $60 and tech will explode.

Still long S&P and now MSFT NOV 55 calls.
