That's because it was a sham to quiet the public...

...and make them think that justice was being done. It's just another Warren report: a public undertaking to fool the masses into thinking that a thorough investifation was being conducted when in reality nothing was being done.
And for all the sorry M$ shills that think Microsoft never broke any laws and can do no wrong, let me just point to a mere few crimes they committed:

"The most interesting section of the decision is the discussion regarding Microsoft's undermining of consistent standards for the software language Java.
Microsoft set out to create a rival, incompatible Java standard.
the Court declared that in Microsoft's case the company pursued its alternative standard through deception and exclusionary deals with developers for the explicit goal of economic power rather than superior design. That behavior is a violation of the antitrust law"

"By cutting deals with computer manufacturers and Internet Service Providers to exclude the Netscape browser from distribution, the Appeals Court ruled, "Microsoft's agreements foreclosed a substantial portion of the field for JVM distribution and because, in so doing, they protected Microsoft's monopoly from a middle-ware threat, they are anti-competitive."

"the Appeals Court also found that Microsoft had flat-out lied to software developers by encouraging them unknowingly to develop Java software programs for Windows that were incompatible with the original standards developed for the language"

"Beyond anti-competitive deals and deceit, the Appeals Court accused Microsoft of undermining Java and innovation through straight-up intimidation and threats. Back in 1995, Intel was in the process of developing a high- performance Windows-compatible computer chip that would make the original Java standards run extremely fast and efficiently. Microsoft warned Intel that unless it abandoned those efforts, Microsoft might work with rival chip makers to hurt Intel."
