Microsoft Settles Antitrust Case with New Mexico

Following yesterday's decision to change provisions of Windows' licensing, Microsoft has taken another step toward solving its legal
woes. New Mexico Attorney General Patricia Madrid and Microsoft have announced that the state's antitrust case against the software giant has been settled.


The Associated Press reports that the Redmond, Washington, based company has agreed to pay all legal costs incurred in the case and according to Madrid, the state will also receive any "penalties and remedies imposed in the continuing federal antitrust case." She additionally noted that the settlement serves the interests of the state's consumers and businesses alike.


Microsoft spokesperson Jim Desler conveyed the company's feelings, telling BetaNews, "We are pleased to have resolved this matter with the state of New Mexico and we thank Attorney General Madrid for her leadership in hammering out this settlement."
