Well it must be good news for Microsoft as the Dow Jones shot up at the end of the session today (+125 points to over 8,500). I can't make heads or tails out of this gobblelydook, but it appears that the courts have upheld the previous decision - which I believe would be a good thing for Gates & Co. Now they can put this anti-trust garbage behind them.

LOL. Sometimes it's worth paying the bloody, life-sucking lawyers just to read and interpret. * Then * we get rid of em....hehehe.

Jurisdiction is retained by this Court over this action such that the Court may act sua sponte to issue further orders or directions This will make it tough for anyone to invent new terminology and thereby get out of some annoying sub-subparagraph.

I dunno... the part at the end about asking Plaintiff states for a motion for costs and fees does NOT look good, IMHO.

"Microsoft shall disclose to ISVs, IHVs, IAPs,ICPs, and OEMs, for the sole purpose of interoperating with a Windows Operating System Product, via the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) or similar mechanisms, the APIs and related Documentation that are used by Microsoft Middleware to interoperate with a Windows Operating System Product." What sense does it make to force disclosure of APIs?

I guess this means the judge approved the settlement that MS and Justice had agreed to, overruling the 9 state attorney generals who wanted the settlement thrown out so they could pursue tougher sanctions.
