Microsoft/IBM settlement

Wow, so I just read on slashdot that microsoft settled with IBM for anti-trust charges and other issues like the stuff that happened with OS/2. Microsoft is paying $775 MILLION in cash and $75 million in "credit" whatever that is. Read here: http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/05/07/01/1550241.shtml?tid=123&tid=109&tid=136

Bill gates has more money than he could ever even hope to spend in his entire life. I doubt he could deflate his bank account even if he tried. This is nothing to him.

Isn't it a little late to be worrying about who stomped on who's toes 15 years ago?

Just so you know, Bill Gates isn't the boss of Microsoft, and he has also pledged away 98% (or something) of his wealth. I'm fairly sure he can technically no longer afford a small country (assuming he doesn't break his pledges).
