In response to the U.S. Court of Appeals decision today, Microsoft Corp. issued the following initial response.

"Microsoft is pleased that the U.S. Court of Appeals has overturned most of the lower court´s findings against the company, drastically narrowing the case and removing the breakup cloud from the company."

"The central issue in this case is the fundamental principle that every company must have the ability to innovate and improve its products on behalf of its customers. On this point, we are very pleased that this ruling reverses the District Court´s previous ruling and provides a positive framework for Microsoft if these issues have to be retried. Today´s ruling creates a better framework for allowing companies to improve products on behalf of consumers by adding new and innovative features."
