   This "settlement" means there will be no dual-booting computers with Windows® in the future...

   The lawsuit was about how MS forced OEMs not to include other operating systems to shipped machines. See [url=http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,136359,00.asp]Be Sues Microsoft[/url].Now that this is "settled", MS can keep forcing OEMs.Edit: I should have been more precise, I meant no dual-booting computers with Windows® in stores.

   I think its only a matter of time before Microsoft tries to make it so you can't even dual boot with a non-Microsoft OS at all, never mind buy one. They will probably get away with that as well.
