SEATTLE - Longtime adversaries Microsoft Corp. and RealNetworks Inc. scheduled a joint news conference Tuesday amid indications that the companies had settled Real's antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft.
The news conference in Seattle was scheduled to include the heads of both companies, Microsoft's Bill Gates and RealNetworks' Rob Glaser.
RealNetworks sued Microsoft in December 2003, accusing the software giant of illegally forcing Windows users to accept Microsoft's digital media player. RealNetworks said its music player suffered as a result.
