c9Today's Contest: Predict the next place Microsoft will drop over $1B.
Previous instances: just one -- today's announcement of a settlement between Microsoft and Sun over various lawsuits of the past decade. Now they're going to get along [ha! -ed] and share technology [double ha! -ed] and stop suing each other. Microsoft has agreed to give Sun almost two billion dollars. Cash. Sun has agreed to pay Microsoft someday if it ever starts using Microsoft technology in their server products.
Microsoft has over $40B in the bank. I guess with the EU judgement down against them, it's time to start spending it a bit?
