Novell can pursue Microsoft claims
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
U.S. District Judge Frederick Motz in Baltimore said yesterday that Novell could pursue claims that Microsoft tried to shut out sales of Novell's word processing software to protect its own Windows operating system software. The judge dismissed four other allegations, saying Novell waited too long to raise them.
In supporting his decision to allow Novell to pursue claims that Microsoft's Window's monopoly damaged Novell's ability to sell WordPerfect, Motz cited a Microsoft e-mail to billionaire investor Warren Buffett.
