Dispute

Microsoft, C I Settle Software License
Dispute 01/04/2005 11:03 AM
A three-and-a-half-year dispute between Microsoft and a Texas Web-hosting operation has ended, with one becoming a partner to the other in the process. Dallas-Fort Worth-based C I Host announced on Monday that a federal judge dismissed a long-running suit filed against it by Microsoft. C I Host is a global Web host and data center operator, serving 215,000 individual consumers and businesses in 190 countries. The dispute goes back to September 2001, when Microsoft said it first notified the hosting company of its concerns that it might not have taken a service provider license agreement for Windows server products. According to the complaint, C I Host responded in December 2001 by denying wrongdoing and threatening to sue Microsoft for defamation if it went public with the charges.

As a result of the ongoing success of the Microsoft® Government Security Program (GSP) and positive feedback from governmental entities, Microsoft Corp. today announced it will offer access to the source code of its flagship desktop offering, Microsoft Office 2003, as part of the GSP.

Today I attended what can only be described as a one day crash course constructed for the sole purpose of passing the FCC's test for an Amateur Radio License. The class, which cost $25, was sponsored by the College of San Mateo Electronics Technology Department and...
