[link\|http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2002-01-02-002-20-OP-MS\|Open letter to the DOJ] The guy raises some good points about Microsoft's fundings, but one of the comments pointed out he made an analysis assuming it was a criminal suit, when it was in fact a civil suit.

Post #23,119 by wharris2 1/4/02 11:28:44 AM Reply	Interesting addendum One of the subsequent replies called into question the civil nature of the prosecution, quoting language from the Sherman act that appears to make antitrust actions a felony. Any further info about that? (Is there such a thing as a civil felony rather than a criminal felony?) "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- Donald Knuth

Looks like it all hinges on how bad she decides Microsoft has been. She has already stated flat out that she has full authority not only to address the past but future behavior as well. Microsoft lawyers had tried to convince her her authority was very narrow and were visibly upset by her reaction. So there is some narrow justification to hope for more than just a rubber stamp of the Justice Dept. surrender. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
