Microsoft Wins WordPerfect Antitrust Battle With Novell

Posted by Soulskill on 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."

    Sorry, Microsoft Fanbois, time to man up and quit modding everything you don't like
    down. The truth is out there, and it will be set free. The Internet views censorship
    as damage and routes around it (--Gilmore). The same is true for biased modding
    and shil posting.

    I'm sure the "Microsoft Fanbois" will stop doing it when the Linux shills and Apple cultists stop it as well - or are you seriously of the opinion that the only fanboyism that goes on here is in favour of Microsoft?
