The most valuable gain from the settlement plan was the inclusion of a "non-assertion of patents" clause that prevents PC makers from enforcing their patents against Microsoft. http://www.computeruser.com/news/02/02/21/news10.html ------ End of Forwarded Message For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
