...moment crystallized the bitterness here, it was the day after Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's findings of fact last November, which, despite its label, was widely interpreted as meaning that Microsoft was "gonna get nailed." Newspapers across the country carried pictures of the Department of Justice litigators smiling and laughing about the judge's ruling. For the supercompetitive Microsoft types, this was rubbing salt in the wounds. And it confirmed their suspicion that the government was unfairly "out to get" them.

Those fidgety day traders didn't bother waiting for Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's second decision in the Microsoft antitrust trial. As the 5 p.m. announcement drew nearer on Monday, the desktop dealers dumped more and more of their investments in the tech-heavy NASDAQ, and by the time Jackson, who four months earlier had found that Microsoft wielded monopoly power, delivered a guilty verdict on two of three counts of abusing that power, they had produced a record 348-point, 7.6 percent plunge...
