Microsoft’s ruling — no victor yet

Kelly McNeill writes: “After reading about the Microsoft appellate court ruling last week, I was surprised to hear so many individuals believed the ruling was a Microsoft victory. Shortly after the ruling was announced, I received scads of e-mails coupled with the occasional phone call. Most of these communications were about how much of an injustice it was that Microsoft got off scot-free. People were wondering how much further the technology industry must be degraded before anyone in charge acknowledges how inappropriate Microsoft’s behavior had been over the past 15 years.”
