It means that the sales of Xbox 360 systems and Windows 7 software are to be halted soon, as well as the distribution of Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player. &amp;quot;We are pleased that the Mannheim Court found that Microsoft products infringe Motorola Mobility&amp;#039;s intellectual property,&amp;quot; read a statement. &amp;quot;As a path forward, we remain open to resolving this matter.
