Here is some coverage from around the Web:

The suit also alleges that Microsoft used its monopoly power for Intel-based computers “to coerce OEMs, internet access providers and others into agreeing to restrictive and anti-competitive licensing terms for its Windows XP operating system in order to stifle competition in the market.”
This will probably receive a lot more coverage in weeks/months to come. █
