A federal judge has handed Microsoft a huge victory in years-old patent spat with telecom giant Alcatel-Lucent focusing on how personal computers running Windows play back MP3 music files, setting aside a $1.5 billion jury award granted after the software giant was found to have infringed on two dig...
