Like many (most?) people on this list, I only wished that something
good could result from this case.  Perhaps good has resulted has
because more people are aware of Microsoft's nature.  But, at the same
time, I never really believed that the verdict would do anything to
curtail Microsoft.  The marketplace (i.e. open source software, non-PC
electronic devices, Apple, etc.) remains the best hope.
