Well folks if the report that the Army of Egypt wont use force against the people stands up its all over, Mubarak is out one way or another, the Armed Forces have taken over all the important Government jobs, from Prime Minister to the Internal Ministry, thus expect General Suleiman the present new Vice - President to take over, then there are elections in a few months time, free in Arab terms, not sure they would pass Western tests but free compared to past elections in Egypt. The most important part is that the peace deal between Israel and Egypt should survive the fall of Mubarak, interesting days ahead for Egypt, but on the whole the crisis is passed, with Mubarak out some of the steam from the protests should go away, the news media should start to divert back to usual business, the next steps should not that be that interesting, backroom deals between politicians in Egypt. The normal politics Arab style.
