the more interesting suit is from Caldera.  I had personal experience with
part of this.  I used DR DOS at the time and was a beta testing for Windows
3.1.  It worked fine all through the test and Novell picked up DR DOS
during that time after a blow up between Gates and Noorda.  Then
mysteriously when 3.1 when commercial, it wouldn't work with DR DOS.  It
took Novell about a month to get it fixed, and they lost a ton of customers
during that time.  Kind of like the old 'DOS isn't done till Lotus won't
run'.

MS will appeal - you can bank on it.  There's enough evidence that
Penfield-Jackson has had it in for MS, and although some of what he said
was
true, he sided too much with Netscape/Apple and Barksdale and dismissed
much
of what MS came out with.
The ruling was too one-sided, hence why you can probably bet on the fact
that it will be appealed and fought further.
Have a good weekend...
The article says:
The government also charged Microsoft tried to bully other companies. In
other portions of his ruling, Jackson said Microsoft's actions harmed
consumers and it used its power to punish any firm that could intensify
competition.

Draw your own conclusions.
