Microsoft to pay AOL $750M...
 
Nice, with that one could buy himself a nice house, or maybe even two.

With the attornies cost that is a nice chunk of change.

But I bet AOL wanted more.

With that much money, gaining 3% interest, you could spend 23 million every year for the rest of your life... or about 450-500 people could be set for life to live very comfortably.

I hate this BS. Sure, I could say I don't like windows, but I gotta hand it to Bill Gates, the fucker built basically an Empire, and everybody want's a share of his money. I don't feel there should be a lawsuit because of stupid BS. So who gives a fuck, Microsoft designed/created Windows 98 and up with an intregrated Internet Explorer (where you can't uninstall it), it is his fucking operating system he should be able to do what the hell he wants. Who else feels this way, one thing, just imagine if it was you!

I like Microsoft and some of its products. Win 2000 and Win XP are pretty cool, if you think about that they can do. All the Office products are also pretty nice. Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, good stuff. I don?t think I could imagine a day without using Word.

And yes, like or dislike Bill Gates, but you have to admit, he made it HUGE.

You apparently don't know what it is all about, its not that he integrated it. Computer companies had to not install Netscape if they wanted the sweet pricing deal. Which made it so no new machines came with netscape. (At that point in time Netscape was better too!)

Gee, maybe the investors can at least get a one cent dividend now, and AOL can claim 2 quarters in a row as profitable :-)

Wouldn't you do the same thing? Let's say you want to make people use your product, and you have something EVERY user needs. You give them what they need and in return, they'll use your product.

That's fucking business.

That's not business, that is unfair business practices.

Jay_StandAhead 05-30-2003 09:47 AM

Guess you won't be running an empire any soon, are you.
