Novell vs. Microsoft, Again · Slashdot Mirror

belmolis writes "As they promised, Novell has filed suit against Microsoft over WordPerfect. Here's the complaint, and here is Microsoft's press release in response. From what I know of the history, it seems very likely that Novell will be able to prove that Microsoft engaged in illegal anticompetitive behavior. Indeed, the complaint cites some of the same acts that figured in the US government case against MS. What isn't so clear to me is how much of the loss of market share they will be able to show was Microsoft's fault, since there seems to be a diversity of opinion regarding the relative quality of WordPerfect and MS Word." Reader tekiegreg points out Reuters' story on the new suit, as carried by Yahoo!.

Do you actually laugh like "hehe" in real life, or is it just some typing that you picked up? It sounds REALLY girly. I can just imagine you with your index finger in your mouth, trying to act cute as you giggle "hehe" before going into the rest of your post. I find it surprising that you'd preface a serious point with a cutesy laugh like that.
