Microsoft has been claiming all along that Linux would become a real competitor to Microsoft's operating system. If you stretch this out long enough, who knows, they could be right. Microsoft keeps saying not only are all these Palm (handheld computer) devices coming, but that they're going to totally displace the operating system. If you stretch this out a year, two years, that could happen.
More Quotes from Robert Lande:
If you're really, really conservative, then you start with a very strong attitude that companies should be allowed to do whatever they want and the government shouldn't interfere with that. If you fix prices, that's a different story, but we're talking about behavior that isn't clear cut like price fixing.Robert Lande

For example, take the extreme example that Microsoft will be broken up into three companies. That won't happen until the appeals are exhausted.

The longer it sits at the Court of Appeals, the less likely the Supreme Court is to take it on an expedited basis. To the extent that the Court of Appeals really starts to get their teeth into this, they could jump on this right away.
