Sun, Be Inc.'s cases against Microsoft moved to Maryland | |
|
||
| Time: 12:27 EST/17:27 GMT | News Source: Seattle Times | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Sun Microsystems and Be Inc. lost bids to keep their antitrust cases against Microsoft from being sent to a court handling more than 100 other lawsuits against the world's biggest software maker. A panel of federal judges said it moved the California cases to a Maryland court to expedite pretrial fact-finding proceedings. Lawyers have said that the East Coast court is more conservative on antitrust issues and that could favor Microsoft. Sun claims that Microsoft prevented the adoption of the Java programming language and Be said in a separate lawsuit that the Redmond company used its monopoly to keep computer companies from using its software. | ||

Title of article should say "Whiners find their way to Maryland" :-)
I can see some merit to Sun's case, perhaps, although by the same token they did just as much to damage their possibilities as Microsoft. Be on the other hand never produced a product worth buying. It's not Microsoft at fault, it's the realities of the PC hardware market with all it's incompatible hardware models. |

stubear - I guess I find no merit with Be's lawsuit because they are essentially saying that they couldn't sell their product because nobody wanted to buy it, and that was all Microsoft's fault because they made a better OS.
It's really quite silly. |
