The Judge’s order blocks Microsoft from selling or importing into the United States any version of Word that can open documents containing custom XML which includes .XML, .DOCX and .DOCM files. While the injunction blocks the sale of Word in its current state, it doesn’t prevent Microsoft from selling versions of the application that open XML documents as plain text.
The court ordered Microsoft to pay over US$290 million in damages. Microsoft has 60 days to comply with the court order, and the company plans to appeal the ruling. Microsoft has not yet publicly responded to the ruling.
