MSFT: Putting their money…
Posted by Diana in Analysis on Jul 24, 2003
InfoWorld reports that Microsoft has dropped caps on its liability for products. “Although the changes expand Microsoft’s legal exposure,. . . (MS) does not expect the company to actually have to start writing checks.”
Hmmm, if they don’t expect this move to translate to additonal check writing, is it simply a way to mollify companies who felt MS wasn’t accepting enough risk for faulty software? It will be interesting to see if the new approach results in additional lawsuits/more successful ones for customers.
