Most Senators had strong feelings on the matter, but they fell like marbles on the floor, and no one could predict who would roll where.

...highlights from the first half don't look good -- full of clips of Microsoft lawyers and flacks fumbling nearly everything the feds threw their way. Of course, since the government closed its case Monday, and Microsoft gets to put on its own witnesses, only a sucker could predict the winner. Yet so far, the feds have clearly scored most of the points. "David Boies put on a solid case for the government, maybe a little better than expected," says TIME's Adam Cohen.
