How long has this case been dragging on? Honestly, after eight years, people don't care about who "wins," they just want to quit hearing about it. :)

Although Novell presented evidence from which a jury could have found that Microsoft engaged in aggressive conduct, perhaps to monopolize or attempt to monopolize the applications market, it did not present evidence sufficient for a jury to find that Microsoft committed any acts that violated s.2 [of the Sherman Act; U.S. antitrust laws] in maintaining its monopoly in the operating systems market. Therefore, Microsoft’s motion [to dismiss] will be granted.

Why did it take 8 years to decide there was insufficient evidence?
 
Just think the amount of money Novell spent fighting this over 8 years is probably more than what they want from Microsoft.
