Does anyone remember if Be ever got any remedy over MS locking BeOS out of OEMs? Obviously the tactic worked as we're not using BeOS, and Apple based macOS on NeXT.
- gorbypark 6y agoBe's IP (or the entire company? I can't remember) was sold to Palm for $11m at the end of Be, Inc's life. Palm actually ended up suing Microsoft for anti-competitive behaviour (on the now defunct Be's behalf), and that law suit was settled a few years later for $23m. I don't think Microsoft had to admit any wrong doing, they just paid the money to settle the situation.
