U.S. District Court Judge Leonard Davis has confirmed what the court decision earlier in May which alleges that Microsoft was infringing the copyright of a Canadian tech company.  The decision forces damage compensation, as well as the cessation of the sale of certain versions of Microsoft Word within a couple of months.

Microsoft will of course appeal this decision, but for now they are going to have to work around the problem by removing certain portions of the Word software package to allow it to continue to be sold in retail stores.
