I'm not a lawyer, but I think this was just a way to give the plaintive grounds for appeal to further get the judgment reduced. The judge's ruling not matching the awarded damages sounds like grounds for appeal.
Computer makers would then have the option to add the browser back in, ship another browser or ship multiple browsers
So, in other words, the status quo will be preserved: Microsoft will likely enter into agreements with OEMs to put IE back in (while keeping Chrome and Firefox out), which will only result into some additional revenues for European OEMs and tax collectors. Nothing else to see here, move along.
I was going to mention that, but you beat me too it. Intel was fined for doing something similar with paying companies to use their product and snuff the competition. Intel was fined ALOT more than MS. If they are smart they wouldn't try to pull something like that. I hope they do through:)
So you know all the factors that influence the sound waves speed at every point along the migration as well as every point from the surface to the maximum depth they were measuring. Ya I thought not, shoot down someone's joke, which was funny, risk being shot down.

Wow I missed that. That was a tricky tricky trick.
