| Microsoft did not really change its tune after the court case wound down.

| * Microsoft subsidizes the channel so every PC in the store runs Windows,
| even netbooks where thatâs more trouble than itâs worth.
| * Sharepoint is designed specifically to extend its monopoly.
| * Remember the OOXML standards battle, where Microsoft corrupted the
| standards process itself to maintain control of the applications market?
| * The Novell deal, in which Linux vendors admit that 2+2=5 so Microsoft
| wonât assert non-existent patent claims against them, still gets me mad
| every time I think about it.

| Three local school districts will receive a combined $1 million starting this
| year as a result of a legal settlement, and educators plan to use that money
| to put more technology in the hands of students.

|
| Wisconsin plaintiffs from a class-action lawsuit reached a settlement with
| Microsoft in 2006. The plaintiffs claimed that Microsoft violated state
| antitrust and unfair competition laws by overcharging customers for its
| products, according to a legal notice. The company denied the claims.
|
| District officials have not finalized their plans for the money, but they are
| eager to give students the tools they need to remain competitive in the 21st
| century workforce.
