Microsoft: Sun deal unsigned; Feds look at Longhorn
C|Net | at | by Mike
In a court filing late last week, Microsoft noted that the two companies have not signed off on a contract, nor has Sun made a necessary royalty payment. Sun agreed to take part in the Microsoft program as part of a wide-ranging deal earlier this year in which Microsoft agreed to pay Sun $1.95 billion to settle antitrust and other disputes.
A Microsoft representative said on Friday that the deal has yet to be signed but said "we expect to finalize it shortly." A Sun representative said he was looking into the matter.
