Microsoft and AOL settle lawsuit
« on: May 30, 2003, 01:19:37 PM »
Microsoft will pay $750 million to AOL Time Warner to settle an antitrust lawsuit filed by AOL on behalf of its subsidiary Netscape last year.

This also gives AOL the right to use IE for the next 7 years without having to pay royalties.

They are also working on getting AOL and MSN messengers to work more smoothly together as well as fighting digital piracy.

Those were my thoughts aswell.  It would be good if the money was paid to AOL.  It's just a pity that they're using IE now instead of Netscape.  (That's how I read it anyway)
