"The agreements involve payments of $700 million to Sun by Microsoft to 
resolve pending antitrust issues and $900 million to resolve patent issues. 
In addition, Sun and Microsoft have agreed to pay royalties for use of each 
other's technology, with Microsoft making an up-front payment of $350 million 
and Sun making payments when this technology is incorporated into its server 
products."

Who do you think is going to come out ahead in the long run on that deal? 
Gabe, take the time to read and understand next time. I'll thank you to keep 
your mouth shut until you do.
