Microsoft is frustrated, a little bit angry and basically saying, 'Let's get on with it,'

They've been saying that they didn't want any part in this, and I don't think anyone has taken them seriously, and now they've said it unequivocally that they don't want to be bought out.

It doesn't decide the major appeal before the D.C. Court of Appeals,

The wild card is how the Supreme Court will treat them.

Their chances on appeal are certainly greater than in front of Judge Jackson.

Microsoft needs a settlement more than the government.
