Microsoft Wins WordPerfect Antitrust Battle With Novell

Posted by Soulskill on Monday July 16, 2012 @10:25PM from the raise-your-hand-if-you-even-remember-wordperfect dept.

New submitter Psychotic_Wrath writes "After a long, drawn-out legal battle and a hung jury, a federal judge has dismissed Novell's antitrust case against Microsoft. The case involved allegations from Novell that Microsoft removed code from its Windows 95 operating system which created the need for further development to WordPerfect. Novell says this delayed the release of their product, giving Microsoft Word an unfair advantage. Groklaw has a detailed write-up on the decision."

And what do *any* of that have to do with the rant that I replied to? Sure, the jury found 11-1 in favour, but I struggle to find the link between that and ranting about supposed Microsoft fanboyism and shilling with posts and moderations here on Slashdot.
Im not unclear about any of the facts, I am unclear as to how the fuck they support his pathetic, childish rant against Microsoft fanboyism.
