I think they agreed that MSFT was guilty of a broad degree of charges; they just didn't agree with the way Penfield handled himself.

The appeals court upheld Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson’s ruling that Microsoft was guilty on most charges of illegally maintaining a monopoly in operating systems.

The appeals court also upheld Jackson’s specific ruling that it was illegal for the company to form restrictive licensing agreements of the kind it formed with PC makers such as Dell and Gateway. It agreed with the ruling that Microsoft had formed illegally exclusionary deals with Internet service providers such as America Online and with Internet content providers. In addition, the appeals court upheld Judge Jackson’s finding that the deal Microsoft made with Apple to get that company to use the Internet Explorer browser was illegal.

The appeals court likewise agreed with Judge Jackson that Microsoft violated the law when it attempted to undermine the Java programming language - for example when it threatened Intel for working on a cross-platform Java virtual machine. The appeals court also upheld Judge Jackson's ruling that it was illegal for Microsoft to mix software code of Windows and its browser in one file and exclude the browser from its add/remove utility in Windows.
