Corrections needed.
1) Microsoft gets to keep its monopoly and do business as usual.

Judge KK decided this. Are you making allegations of corruption?

<>

2) Block competitors' move to make competition easy in new markets for Microsoft and to shield the monopoly Microsoft from competitive threats.

Any examples? <<"Blocking of Oracle's merge with Peoplesoft by the Bush DOJ" to make Microsoft's chance of competing easier and to shield the monopoly Microsoft from competitive threats. Why block? Block so that PeopleSoft-Oracle will not move customers of SQL Server and Windows servers away to other databases and Linux.>> Microsoft will be left to work alone to get market share for its SQL Server and Windows server. Too much work! Buy the Bush DOJ to make life easy!

3) To invalidate any IP claims that affect Microsoft's bottom line and at the same time enforces without any restriction Microsoft's IP.

You think the Eolas patent is valid? It effects all browsers, only MS has been sued so far.

<>

4) More to come if the Bush waiters are allowed to keep their jobs.
It is your choice what to do next.

John Kerry running on the Lets break up Microsoft ticket? That should get the populace going. Hot button issue, again.

<>

"This decision happened because according to you, the Bush administration found MS in breech of the patent and order them to pay $500M. Not quite seeing your logic."
