The case for WordPerfect is resurrected in the Supreme Court
BetaNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft is now resurrecting an ancient battle by asking the US Supreme Court to quash a lawsuit filed by Novell back in 2004, alleging that Microsoft maliciously ruined WordPerfect's chances in the office productivity market.
In its suit against Microsoft, Novell claims that, between 1994 and 1996, Microsoft maliciously withheld technical information about Windows 95 so as to give Microsoft Office an advantage over its rivals and to effectively squash WordPerfect and other competitors in the marketplace.
