High-tech industry lobbyists issued a collective yawn after Netscape Communications filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Microsoft claiming the software giant's business practices crushed the upstart's browser.
Apple Computer, Compaq Computer, Hewlett-Packard, Intel and Oracle each declined to comment on the lawsuit, in which Netscape asks for a jury trial and unspecified damages. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, seeks triple damages based on the Clayton Act and the District of Columbia Code, as well as interest and attorneys fees.
