Microsoft Antitrust Judgement
in SlashDot

    An anonymous reader writes "Here are the links to the as-yet-unreleased
    judgement in the Microsoft case by CKK: [0]Final Decree, [1]Memorandum
    Opinion, [2]Public Interest Order, [3]Opinion on the State Settlement,
    [4]State Settlement Order." In brief: Kollar-Kotelly accepts the
    settlement that the Federal Gov't and some states wanted, but she wants
    a minor change to it; and she has decided the case which was pursued by
    the other states as well, mostly ordering Microsoft to refrain from
    certain behaviors with regard to the user-visible desktop. Overall: a
    massive win for Microsoft, who can restrict the release of its APIs to
    major commercial companies only.

    An anonymous reader writes "The IETF has [0]approved the formation of a
    Working Group to continue evolving the XMPP protocol." Interoperable
    instant messaging, who'd a thunk it. Our [1]previous story has more
    information.
