[QUOTE="gameboy, post: 117250, member: 177511"] Microsoft is to pay $775m (£438.4m) to computer giant IBM to settle an anti-trust claim. Under the settlement, the software maker will also give IBM a $75m credit for its computer programmes. Microsoft said the settlement resolves discriminatory pricing and overcharging allegations made by IBM. The action dates back to a 1990s US federal case which found Microsoft had been acting as a monopoly by forcing computer firms to take its software. The $775m payout is the latest in a long line of such payments following the action brought by the US Department of Justice - last year Microsoft agreed to pay $2bn to Sun Microsystems.
