Taaa Daaaa!06/23 10:38 Last fall, the Justice Department asked a federal judge to

hold Microsoft in contempt and fine it $1 million a day for breaking a 1995 consent agreement by tying its Web browser to its Windows 95 operating system. Microsoft argued that it had the right under the agreement to integrate the products.
The appellate court agreed with Microsoft. ''We find that the District Court erred procedurally in entering a preliminary injunction without notice to Microsoft and substantively in its implicit construction of the consent decree on which the preliminary injunction rested,'' the court said.
One of the government's key arguments was that Microsoft also sold its Web browser separately and therefore they were separate products. But the court said an ''integrated product'' was one that that combines functionalities in an advantageous way for the purchaser, regardless of whether components were also sold separately.
In addition to the Justice Department's narrow case over the 1995 consent decree, the department has also brought a broad antitrust case alleging that Microsoft competed unfairly with other software makers. A trial in that case has been set for Sept. 8.

You heard it here first from the "Softies"!!!!!!
