microsoft appeal result

[ravi narayan <gadfly@xxxxxxxx>]

summary: the appeals court in the microsoft case has agreed with
parts of the trial court judgement and disagreed with part of it.
the appeals court rejected the contention that microsoft illegally
attempted to monopolize the browser market and remanded the
contention that it spuriously tied two products (the OS and the
browser) to gain a monopoly. the court also used judge jackson's
crazy behaviour to set aside the remedies proposed by him and sent
the case back to trial court for remedies, particularly noting
that it go to a different judge.
