Judge Temporarily Suspeneds Microsoft Word Ban.

"A federal appeals court yesterday provided much-needed succor to Microsoft in its high-stakes legal duel with Canadian firm i4i. The latest judgement temporarily suspends the permanent injunction on the sale of Microsoft Word in its current patent-violating avatar. Microsoft’s Canadian adversary was granted the injunction last month by U.S. District Court Judge Leonard Davis. The Judge had found Word’s default file format, Office Open XML, to be in violation of i4i’s US patent number 5787449." http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/judge_temporarily_suspends_word_sales_ban

This isn't a surprise to me, I knew that Microsoft has a few tricks up it's sleeve.
