Microsoft Decision due today
-
I haven't heard any time for a press conference, but they did mention that the Judge will be releasing her opinions after the market closes today. Any guesses on what'll be coming? David

4:30 PM, EST, after the market closes. My guess is to uphold the previous court decisions and not inflict any further penalties. The economy can't take it. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Im still waiting for them all to appologize to Microsoft for being such poor competitors, admit that they suck and had no business running businesses and go home to their mamas. Then the judge should just drop the suit, and make Sun, Oracle, and the FSF pay Microsoft's legal fees. That is the only fair outcome. Of course, instead we'll probably hear some stuff about how Microsoft was unfair because they were smarter, faster, and more coordinated than their competitors summarized by saying they bullied everyone and stole their firstborn children.:laugh: Good luck Microsoft!!! I wasn't harmed, and I ONLY buy Microsoft as a result of the lawsuits brought. Of course I also own stock, a $200 OS is covered by a .01% increase in your stock, so really all the software I buy from you is free, as I get it back and them some from the profits from my investment accounts. Keep growing that business!!!!;) Cheers

Or maybe they'll bring up some of Microsoft's illegal deals. Example: When Microsoft offered Netscape this deal: if Netscape let MS take control of the Windows browser market, Netscape could have the other OS's browser markets. (Read: highly illegal) Example: When Microsoft signed an NDA with Pen systems, looked at their technology and then copied it. Example: When Microsoft would punish OEMs with higher prices and threats when they didn't follow Microsoft's strategy. (Microsoft's laywers said that they weren't "real threats" because they were never carried out - of course, the OEMs always backed down from MS, so MS never had any reason to carry out their threats.) Example: When Microsoft pushed Intel to not work with Java. (Because it was in Microsoft's interest to stop Java.) I hope Microsoft gets burnt bad. Not destroyed - but hurt enough that they stop their sh*t. ------------------------------------------ "Isn't it funny how people say they'll never grow up to be their parents, then one day they look in the mirror and they're moving aircraft carriers into the Gulf region?" - The Onion

You make it sound like these companies that CHOSE to deal with and negotiate stuff, that they were just a bunch of helpless schoolgirls. Example 1 is dumb - why would they do that? Could it be that Netscape is full of it? Probably. Example 2 - If MSFT violated a NDA, then Pen should have sued. Perhaps they did - i dont know. If so, did they win? Example 3 - OEMs could always do anything they wanted. Of course if wanted to make money, they needed to sell their products with Windows. OEM = Schoolgirl. Example 4 - Intel can and will do whatever is interest of their stockholders. They could have worked with Java if they wanted to. Of course, it would have been a waste of time, but that's another argument. Oh, crap, I'm tired of this whole debate. If you respond, im not even going to read it. It's so irrelevant at this point. As a matter of fact, just disregard this whole post, I'll disregard yours, and I retract my first one. Just let this whole thing be over at 4:30est. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!!!!

I agree that the whole thing does get really old. ------------------------------------------ "Isn't it funny how people say they'll never grow up to be their parents, then one day they look in the mirror and they're moving aircraft carriers into the Gulf region?" - The Onion
