Some interesting news for all us free-software-on-PCs boosters:

The article at http://www.cnet.com/Content/News/Files/0,16,1925,00.html
describes a revived anti-trust suit against MicroShaft for allegedly
anti-competitive business practices.

Caldera bought DR-DOS from Novell and with it a suit vs. MicroShaft;
they are pursuing the suit more vigorously than Novell.

See the article for more details.
