The rejection of hearsay evidence is routine -- I don't see where it 
denotes anything in the judge's overall opinion. In fact, the way I 
understand it, if the judge were to base her decision on hearsay evidence,
  it would give Microsoft grounds to appeal. In any event, while the 
testimony may have been struck for purposes of this courtroom event, this 
toothpaste cannot be put back into the tube.
