You must have latched on to this:

Requires Microsoft to release some technical information so software developers can write programs for Windows that work as well as Microsoft's own products do.

All that's about is documenting all of the application programming interfaces (APIs) in Windows, and not keeping a select handful secret so that Microsoft's own application developers have an advantage over third parties. It's a lot like the "plug-compatible" issue that was at the heart of the IBM matter lo these many decades ago. Microsoft's sins in that regard have been well-documented for over a decade, going back to Windows 3. It's been proven through reverse engineering that Windows has undocumented interfaces that would be quite useful to third parties. That Microsoft withheld them is widely considered an argument for separating it into two companies, so that their application developers will (in theory) be treated the same as outsiders.

I'm no fan of the government's pursuit of Microsoft, but this one item is pretty benign, and can be viewed as genuinely enforcing a level playing field.

Note the lead paragraph of the article:
A federal judge handed Microsoft Corp. an enormous victory on Friday, endorsing nearly all of its antitrust settlement with the Justice Department and rejecting harsher penalties sought by nine states.

Microsoft's happy with the settlement.
