This fell through the news cracks:
Microsoft is to pay PC maker Gateway $150m (£79.4m) over four years to settle an anti-trust case.

I might regret posting this here (please no refrences to Bill Gates, he isn't the CEO of MS anymore), but I wanted everyone here to see that MS can just buy its way out of trouble. Ubuntu Foundation has $10 million-1/15 this settlement- to develop itself for comparison.
