Friday's antitrust ruling may give Microsoft powerful ammunition
to defend against more than 60 private lawsuits pending against the software
giant, legal experts say. On Friday, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly approved, with few

Department and nine states. She then issued a revised settlement as her
remedy in continued litigation brought by nine other states and the District
of Columbia.
