Microsoft verdict: Microsoft develops a split personality

By Sarah Left

Published: 7 June 2000 21:39 BST

US district court judge Thomas Penfield Jackson has ruled that Microsoft will be split into two companies, an operating systems and an application business.

According to the judge's final order - released after the close of the US stock markets on Wednesday - the company has four months to submit a detailed plan of divestiture.

The company's stock ended the day up just over $1 over the previous day's close of $69.92.

Microsoft chairman Bill Gates immediately vowed to appeal the decision.
