Monopoly purchases immunity

Microsoft made a huge payout to Sun a while ago, and also handed out money to AOL and Gateway. Now according to The Register Microsoft's paying IBM to keep that company quiet as well.

Does somebody want to remind us all how this is going to be good for consumers?

On the other hand, you have to admit this looks a lot more intelligent than the old "Freedom to Innovate" campaign. BTW, if you want to give Microsoft more freedom to innovate, click here for information on how you can help. (Goodness. And I thought our Share campaign was embarrassing.)
