GeekCoffee | Sun, MS, RDP and Single Sign-on

GeekCoffee | Technology News and Reviews

Let's see if I have this right:

1. MS ends up paying a whack of money to Sun on a lawsuit
2. Sun and MS agree to an inter-operable single sign-on protocol.
3. Sun agrees to license MS's RDP.

Anyone else see this? The result is actually:

1. MS and Sun are tired of this pointless lawsuit and agree to stop.
   
2. Sun's SSo tech will become standard, since MS just paid 1.5bil for a perpetual license
3. Sun pays MS $500mil for RDP, in order to even it out and maybe give Sun something out of it.

How close am I? I guess we need to find out if there's more money coming in on the other agreements.
