WASHINGTON--Microsoft founder Bill Gates said Friday he was "very open" to reaching a settlement in the case against the computer giant after an appeals court overturned an order to split up the company.
In interviews with morning television shows to comment on Thursday's court ruling, Gates said extensive litigation was not good for either side in the case.
"Microsoft, as we have been throughout the case, is very open to the idea of settlement. We don't think extensive litigation and the resources that involves are really good for anyone. We will see if that's a possibility," Gates told ABC's "Good Morning America".
