Well, seems that a Federal Court has upheld the original decision that Microsoft is infringing on the patents held by another company with Microsoft Word. While Microsoft attempted to fight the implementation of this decision claiming irreparable damage, now states "no problem, We will have a modified Word ready for shipping prior to the January 2010 deadline." This simple and quick solution certainly refutes their earlier claim of irreparable damage if original judgement were to be implemented.
