The first phase of the trial was before a judge and was to determine if 
there was a contract in place. The judge says there was, and that Oracle 
must reverse its decision and continue to port to Itanium. You can read 
the proposed ruling at

Oracle has 15 days to ask for changes in the judgment, but given the 
content of the preliminary judgment it appears essentially impossible at 
this point that the final judgment could be in favor of Oracle.

Then the next phase would be a jury trial to determine damages.
