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.

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.
