on the radio, which is not at all what is happening. The inaccurate reporting really bugs me. Besides, the states still have a voice, and MS is still a convicted monopolist.

I don't agree with the original split; I think my preferred solution would be split into five companies. I also think the tying part (Netscape) was way overplayed; for example, the OEM contracts are a lot more important. But, I think MS should be in court, again, over the tying in XP. I just whatever happens is appropriate to their actions -- strong and effective.

IANAL, but what I think happens is that both the DoJ and MS propose their punishments, and the judge decides (and doesn't have to pick one or the other). So, what this means is that the DoJ is changing their original proposal, which was accepted by TPJ.
