The Supreme Court handed Microsoft a defeat by refusing to rule on the company’s request to halt an antitrust suit filed against it. The Supreme Court's decision allows Novell's lawsuit to continue but no date has been set at this time.

Novell alleged that Microsoft targeted the programs because they could run on alternative operating systems and therefore could enable alternatives to Windows to gain market share. Microsoft argued in court filings that Novell did not compete in the operating systems market, and therefore cannot claim to have been harmed by alleged anticompetitive conduct by Microsoft in that market.
 
Great, the fucking EU is at again. Trying to screw over the 100% purely innocent American company out of nothing but pure greed.
 
Wait, Novell DOES compete in the OS market. Don't they own one of the Linux varients? Yup, they own SUSE. Is MS on crack by making false statements?

My only guess is they don't compete in the workstation market as much...

But either way, Novell is very slim pickins to start with... I can count on one hand the number of businesses that I know that use it.

This has to do with competition many, many years ago. I'm just wondering why this has dragged on over a decade without going to trial yet.
