More On Microsoft's "Victory" -- 3:42 pm CST, Update by J.t.Qbe

A few weeks ago the mainstream media (i.e. as perceptive as fish) trumpeted the appeals court's ruling which overturned the Microsoft breakup verdict. But the ruling wasn't the great victory it appeared to be. For a refreshingly new look, read this article by Bork and Starr which examines what the ruling could really mean for Microsoft.

A.T. Hun comments: This article makes the excellent point that the real fun will begin once Sun, AOL/Netscape, and others can proceed with lawsuits against Microsoft. That will cause far more damage than the government ever could. The recent court rulings have made sure that such lawsuits will be possible. You'd better believe that Sun especially is getting the suits fired up for just such an eventuality.
