- btilly 6y agoIt was a slap on the wrist. https://www.justice.gov/atr/case-document/file/503541/download https://www.justice.gov/atr/case-document/file/503541/downlo... has the judgement. Read the following phrase and consider the size of the truck you can drive through it. Nothing in this judgement shall prevent Microsoft from providing Consideration to any OEM with respect to any Microsoft product or service where that Consideration is commensurate with the absolute level or amount of that OEM's development, distribution, promotion, or licensing of that Microsoft product or service. When IBM was competing with companies that got such "Consideration" and it couldn't, guess how that worked out?
