A Way for Conservative Judges to Act against Microsoft
How heart-warming. But what, exactly, has happened? In short, the two enemies have agreed to bury the hatchet. Microsoft will pay Sun almost $2 billion to settle Sun's pending antitrust lawsuit against it, to resolve patent issues and to pay in advance for some licensing royalties. For Microsoft, which has some $53 billion in cash, this is peanuts. For Sun, whose credit rating was cut to junk last month by Standard & Poor's, it is most welcome. Longer term, the two firms have agreed to make their technologies compatible and, more generally, to play nice.
