Microsoft has said it is pleased with a court decision to accept its settlement with the US Government and nine states over illegal squelching of competitors. "We are pleased that the court has conditionally approved the settlement we reached with the Federal Government and the nine states," the software giant said in a statement. The settlement, reached between the US Government and Microsoft in November last year, imposes no financial penalty. Instead, it forces billionaire Bill Gates' software company to disclose some technical information and bars agreements on Microsoft products that would exclude competitors.
