Microsoft settles antitrust suit with Be Inc. for $23 million
>From Associated Press, September 8, 2003 Microsoft has agreed to pay $23.3 million to Be Inc. to settle an antitrust lawsuit that asserted that Microsoft had negotiated deals with computer makers that cut out Be Inc.'s competing operating system.
In the agreement announced on Friday, Microsoft admitted no wrongdoing. The company did not disclose further details.
The lawsuit, filed in February 2002, is one of four private antitrust suits brought against Microsoft after a federal judge's ruling that Microsoft had acted as an illegal monopoly based on its dominance in desktop operating systems.
Microsoft resolved one of the private cases in May, agreeing to pay AOL Time Warner $750 million to settle its private antitrust lawsuit on behalf of AOL's Netscape division. The other two, filed by Sun Microsystems and Burst.com, remain in pretrial proceedings in federal court in Maryland.
A Microsoft spokesman, Jim Desler, declined to say whether the company was in settlement discussions with either party.
Microsoft also faces another 12 state class-action antitrust lawsuits filed on behalf of consumers. ____________________________ NYLXS: New Yorker Free Software Users Scene Fair Use - because it's either fair use or useless.... NYLXS is a trademark of NYLXS, Inc
