They had the problem about solved when the administrative law judge advised the DOJ (under Clinton) that MicroSofts monopoly was far worse than the retributions sought by the DOJ. The DOJ then appealed their victory, saying the judge had no right to do this. It is the only time I have heard someone appealing a law suit after getting MORE than they asked for, appealing the decision and asking for less than they were awarded. Something this lame had to cost Gates a bundle. He of course has a bundle that he has stolen via his illegal monopoly.
