A federal appeals court on Wednesday handed Microsoft Corp A federal appeals court on Wednesday handed Microsoft Corp. a victory with implications for the governments antitrust case against the company. A three-judge panel removed restrictions a judge had imposed on the companys Windows 95 software, saying there was adequate justification for Microsoft to bundle its Internet browser within Windows 95. The same practice in Windows 98, which goes on sale today, is one of the core complaints of the Justice Department and 20 states currently suing Microsoft. Government lawyers contend that requiring computer makers to buy the browser as part of Windows 95 amounts to an illegal "tying" of the products and violates a 1995 court-sanctioned agreement between the company and the government. But, the appeals court on Tuesday described the packaging of the browser with Windows 95 as "a genuine integration," which is legal because a single combined product offers benefits over separate uses.
