Quote from the Cringe this week
Small Change: Microsoft and IBM have buried the hatchet over a lawsuit
filed back in the Jurassic period over alleged discriminatory pricing,
overcharging, and OS/2. Big Blue's haul from the settlement was $775
million, plus a coupon worth $75 million at its local Microsoft store. I
understand Gates was planning to pay the settlement out of his own pocket
but he didn't have anything that small.
So. So. Funny to me.
