" These dumb investors are going to shreek like the neighbor's little girls when the stock plummets and they walk away poor. "
You could suppose that these analysts had 'advised' their investor friends to buy SCO at $15-$16 price just before their issued their report... their friends could then sell at the new (higher) price for a nice little earner.
Of course this is all just fantasy... and they would never do anything so dumb. Would they?
I wouldn't trust M$'s engineers to install a lightbulb never mind Linux - they should be ordered to pay for an army of Linux engineers to install Linux on the state computers.
"Though the face value of the settlement is $1.1 billion, the actual amount will depend on number of consumers who claim, according to Microsoft lawyers."
How likely is it that enough businesses and consumers will actually make a claim to seriously impact M$? Sadly, not very.
Also, didn't M$ claim in court that removing IE and friends from Windoze to be technically impossible? If so, then the release of SP1 will prove that M$ committed purgery.

Should that be "any of the manufacturer's [ie.M$] ... products" or "any manufacturers' ... products"?
This is not very clear from the article.
