Geez 101, if any of us had the answers to those two questions we'd be in pretty good shape, wouldn't we? :)

I think Microsoft will continue to dominate the industry. Much like Dell, I don't see the company resting on its laurels. I'm enouraged that Microsoft invests something like $3 billion annually in research and development. It's the old story... what have you done for me lately. My guess is that Microsoft will continue to deliver for the next 3-5 years, if not longer.

The judge circulated a memo today stating that both he and David Boies (the prosecuting attorney) have conflicts coming up and apparently the trial will take a six-week break so that they can deal with the conflicts. The trial would reportedly resume mid-April. With final witnesses and closing arguments, the trial could easily run into May. Then, the judge will have to deliberate and decide a verdict and what remedies to impose, if any. Of course, there will be appeals as well.
