Microsoft Settles Be Antitrust Suit for $23.25M

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the so-much-for-the-Be-icon dept.

ewhac writes "Without admitting wrongdoing, Microsoft today agreed to pay $23,250,000 to Be, Inc., to settle anti-trust claims against the software giant. The payout is anticipated to be used to complete the orderly dissolution of the company. Shortly after announcing sale of key assets to Palm, Be, Inc., filed suit against Microsoft in February 2002, alleging destruction of its business via illegal exclusionary and anti-competitive business practices."

    23Mil is nothing to Microsoft. As long as the "other" offending OS is gone.
