Microsoft Ruling...

I've avoided following the day-to-day details of the
Microsoft trial - but I suppose the final ruling is
news-worthy...

g/">Here's CNN's report
of the ruling:

"A federal judge Wednesday ordered that Microsoft be
split into two companies, the largest court-ordered breakup
since the 1984 dismantling of telephone giant AT&T.


Under the order, Microsoft would be divided into a PC
operating systems company, and a company that holds the
remainder of its business, including its dominant Office
suite of applications, the Internet Explorer Web browser and
other businesses."

Of course, the appeals process could take up to 2 years.
