<Reggie, you are a legal idiot as usual.>

Despite your childish rudeness undoubtedely brought on by the fact that everything you argued in favor of for the last 5 months was just trounced by the appellate Court, I will actually answer your questions.

<What, exactly, is the meaning of that precedent in terms of antitrust law?>

My stab in the dark is that it totally eliminates the validity of any case the DOJ would make for tying products since the individual products were not tied, but a single product marketed as integrated.

<How will it be held to apply to the continuing broader action?>

I twill not be held to apply, but it does answer the important question as to whether MSFT was illegaly tying products or not. You see, it can't be an illegal action if the products weren't tied to begin with.

<I'm sure in the mysterious context of the Mind of Reg(TM) it's a definitive ruling, but naive high school civics guy wonders.>

I wonder how the openaly biased Judge Jackson and special master Lessig feel on the subject. How about Klein, Barksdale, the Fed AG. I am quite sure they are wondering right along with you. Wondering why in the world they listened to those lobbyist in the first place to pick a fight that wasn't right in the first place. Maybe they are now starting to wonder about the consequences. I told you from the very beginning, they had no case. With such as biased Judge, it HAD to be decided on appeal.
