Beam me up, Scotty

CNN/Money reports that Microsoft and Sun have dropped their lawsuits, although the terms make it sound more like they settled out of court and Sun won: Microsoft has agreed to pay Sun a total of $1.950 billion, while Sun agreed to pay Microsoft royalties for any technology it incorporates into its products. (The Times of India has a franker and more helpful article.)

a Trekkie outfit to the press conference

In addition, CEO's Bill Gates and Scott McNealy announced that they are producing the feature film "Star Trek: Unholy Alliance" in which Captain McNealy of the Starship USS Solaris teams up with The Chairman of the Borg to defeat their common enemy, the Torvaldians from Planet Linooks.

Are you sure of the plot, Capt. McNealy has already used the Linooks code to produce it's own Borg killing weapon allowing more drones to be unassimilated, and it's Star power has been released to all in the form of OOo is a photon torpedo have the Borg on the defensive. The Borg have vowed to win but the cost of their system will be too much for most drones to use, The System Lords ( sorry different movie ) bow to the Borg, but for how long? Once the Borg and the Dominion (SCO) alliance is fully revealed, the Linooks will be adopted fully into the federation.
