Microsoft co-founder and Chairman Bill Gates is on the "will-call" witness list and is expected to testify on behalf of the company at some point during a federal trial starting today between Microsoft and Novell.
The Utah-based Novell, which provides infrastructure software, sued Microsoft in 2004, accusing the software giant of violating U.S. antitrust laws, primarily through its arrangements with other computer makers, the Deseret News reports. Since the suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City in 2004, a judge has dismissed five of Novell's six original claims.
