>How is MS faring right now in the suit?

Not too well -- they're getting beat up with their own emails right now (why the heck didn't they destroy them? :), and IBM witnesses...the pundits are thinking that MS may not get hit too hard by this trial now, since AOL has grown so huge, Intel has had some of the same trouble, etc. But they'll likely have to agree to "loosen up" on browser restrictions, if nothing else...
