Microsoft settles IBM antitrust suit
By
Microsoft Corp. settled antitrust claims made by International Business Machines Corp., agreeing to pay IBM $775 million, the companies just stated this morning. Good news for IBM and Microsoft, but now we have to watch Intel and AMD battle it out in court once again.
The settlement, which resolves discriminatory pricing and overcharge claims, also includes Microsoft extending $75 million in credit toward deployment of Microsoft software at IBM. There is still an outstanding claim by IBM that Microsoft?s market dominance harmed its server hardware and server software business.
