If I read this right, MS still has a boat load of problems. It looks like the appeal strick down the particular remedy but "found merit in some of the findinggs" . Should be a fun 12 months or so. Dave A federal appeals court reversed a trial judge's order to break up Microsoft, but found merit in some of the findings that the world's largest software company broke federal antitrust law. The court, in a surprise midday ruling, also sent the case back to a different judge. The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia affirmed in part and reversed in part the ruling of U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson that Microsoft violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by employing anticompetitive means to maintain a monopoly in the market for personal computer operating systems. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57869-2001Jun28.html?referer= email For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/
