There is an interesting video you can watch if you want to see some info on this. http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-201-5629597-0.html The second video down, "Attorneys debate antitrust ruling." It really isn't a bunch of boring legalese. I was really surprised that it was clear and really discussed what this ruling meant.

I've been wondering if I'd misunderstood the whole appeals ruling. What with all the headlines, etc., stating "Microsoft Not Breaking Up!!" and newsgroup posts seemingly all saying the same, I was beginning to think it must all be over already.
