Legal News: Microsoft Statement on Novell’s WordPerfect Legal Action | |
|
||
| Time: 22:46 EST/03:46 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
Microsoft Corp. has had discussions with Novell Inc. on a number of topics and has made significant progress, as evidenced by the recent settlement regarding NetWare. Unfortunately, despite extensive efforts, Microsoft and Novell were unable to reach a reasonable agreement regarding Novell’s WordPerfect claims, and Novell has now chosen to litigate this matter. Through this lawsuit, Novell seeks to blame Microsoft for its own mismanagement and poor business decisions. The record is clear that bad decisions and business mistakes are the reasons WordPerfect fell out of favor with consumers. It’s also unfortunate, and surprising, that Novell has just now chosen to litigate over a business it owned for a very short time and that it sold more than eight years ago. AW: Complete statement linked in the headline, along with a Microsoft-provided WordPerfect History (Word Document). | ||

Novell got destroyed. There is no requirement of Microsoft to make sure its Operating System talked to any other Operating System. If people had a problem with what MS was doing they could have used another product. But they didn't.
The superior product one as it should in our economy. Sure they left alot of dead companies in their wake, but until they start forcing me to purchase their product I'll error on the side of liberty. |
