Novell sues Microsoft over WordPerfect

http://news.com.com/Novell+sues+Microsoft+for+sinking+WordPerfect/2100-1012_3-5450285.html?tag=nefd.top

Not trying to be confrontational with anyone, but as I remember it, the initial versions of WordPerfect for Windows were not very good products.  Add to that the fact that Wordperfect put all their horses onto the OS/2 train in 1989 - 1991 and I'm not surprised that Microsoft Word became a dominate product in the marketplace.  I think the claim is baseless, however, due to Microsoft's marketplace position, I think that something just might come from this.  Time will tell.

novell has great products but idiots running the show. they are bound to fail whatever technical roadmap they venture into. the next hot thing that comes along they'll drop linux for whatever that maybe.
