Digital Equipment Settles Patent Dispute With Intel techweb.com Off topic, for closure only. Terms: The out-of-court settlement will let Intel license the technology in Digital's Alpha chips, which are the brains of high-end servers. Intel, in Santa Clara, Calif., is expected to pay about 50 percent of the settlement in cash and the rest in "soft dollar payments" in the form of discounts on Intel chips, Kumar said. Contrary to a story in the Wall Street Journal two weeks ago that first reported a proposed settlement, Kumar said Maynard, Mass.-based Digital will not transfer ownership of the Alpha design to Intel. Pretty big payout for a nuisance suit, must have been something there. Cheers, Dan.

Microsoft's Battle With Washington Rattles OEMs, Dealers techweb.com A curious quote: "There is nothing that entitles hardware companies or prohibits hardware companies from including other technologies as part of the systems they ship to their customers," said Bill Neukomb, senior vice president of law and corporate affairs, alluding to charges that Microsoft forces its OEM partners to bundle Internet Explorer over Netscape Navigator. They're not prohibited, but they're not entitled to either? Does that mean it's all up to those famous NDA-ized OEM contracts? Enquiring minds want to know. Cheers, Dan
