I just read the story on the Reuters news service. The ban affects Word 2003 and 2007 only. With Office 2010 coming out soon, Micro$oft's pocketbook won't be hardly affected. This version does not use any of the patented software that led to the lawsuit and ban. Even if people will slowly upgrade to Win 7, the same can't be said for the new version of Office. Besides M$ already has almost all the money they'll make from Office 2003 and 2007. The only thing that hurts the Lords of Redmond is the award and that is only a drop in their gargantuan bucket. I really see no easing in Microsoft's market dominance.
