Get's old listening to the nay sayers, Microsoft is a fantastic company.
The amount of money the put into hardware/software research produces some amazing products.
Of course if it was some other company they get away with it, for example Apple.
I hope they win the appeal. One get's tired of companies that can't actually win on their own merits so they turn to the court system.
Apple is probably more "evil" than MS will ever be.
I'd also watch out for Google...
