You should.

Guilt or innocence is not a factor in civil proceedings, so Microsoft
could not have been "convicted" or "proven guilty" in the cited
action. True, the original trial court ruled for the DOJ, the
plaintiff. However, the findings of the trial court were overturned on
appeal and remanded for retrial. The suit was then settled prior to
trial. So essentially, the contention that Microsoft has been found
"guilty" of anything in a court of law is not supported by the cite.
