Judge denies Microsoft bid to dismiss claims
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
A federal court judge Friday denied Microsoft's motions to dismiss the private antitrust lawsuits brought by Be and Burst.com. Later on Friday, U.S. District Judge Frederick Motz will hear Microsoft's arguments supporting motions to dismiss 13 of 16 claims in an antitrust lawsuit filed by Sun Microsystems.
One of Microsoft's lawyers argued Friday morning that Be had other opportunities to distribute its operating system on PCs besides as a dual-boot system with a boot loader and an icon through OEMs (original equipment manufacturers).
