Talk:Microsoft litigation

Refimprove

Just created this page as a Microsoft lawsuits overview. I took lead sections or intros from the particular articles, but it would be nice to have possibly direct refs here, hence tagged. Any help appreciated.--Kozuch (talk) 17:21, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Do we really need more references? Isn't it time to remove refimprove in Multiple issues? Andjack (talk) 16:57, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Context and Overview

This article would greatly benefit from an overview of the legal aspects - as an introduction.

The Uniloc Lawsuit

Does the recently resolved 6-year patent lawsuit with Uniloc Corporation not deserve a mention here? Ombudswiki (talk) 12:58, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

• http://www.cbronline.com/article_news.asp?guid=BC2C0742-73A5-4B86-A57A-3E47216A2D80

  Triggered by \bcbronline\.com\b on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag. No further action is necessary.—^{cyberbot II}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 00:40, 23 June 2016 (UTC)== External links modified ==

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Microsoft litigation. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20120313142614/http://blogs.pcworld.com/staffblog/archives/006543.html8 to http://blogs.pcworld.com/staffblog/archives/006543.html8

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Con-Currency

I noticed the following: European antitrust regulators on February 27, 2008 fined Microsoft $1.3 billion for failing to comply with a 2004 judgment, that the company had abused its market dominance. The new fine by the European Commission was the largest it has ever imposed on an individual company, and brings the total in fines imposed on Microsoft to about $US 2.5 billion, at current exchange rates.

Current exchange rates as of when?
