I thought Judge Motz was to rule definitively on the applicability of Judge
Jackson's Findings of Fact to other actions which might be filed against
Microsoft - in other words, whether "res judicata" indeed applies.

Has anyone heard if he ruled on this?  I know that Microsoft tried to claim
that because they had reached a settlement with the DoJ, that the Findings
could not be used.
