            against the company in a far-ranging decision that will
            reshape the computer industry, sources said.

            U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson gave a
            copy of his ruling to both sides on Monday, before he
            was scheduled to release it to the public at 5 p.m. EDT,
            and Microsoft provided details to its allies during a 3:30
            p.m. conference call.

            A Microsoft lawyer outlined the company's
            appeal strategy, telling call participants
            that its defeat included "no mysteries here

            decision."
