A 20 anti-trust battle between Microsoft and Novell has finally ended with the US supreme court deciding the thing has been done to death.



From Fudzilla:

The case was about Windows 95 development and by declining to hear Novell's appeal; the court left intact a 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling from September 2013 in favour of Microsoft.

The court of appeals unanimously affirmed the dismissal of Novell claims that Microsoft violated the Sherman Antitrust Act when it decided not to share its intellectual property while developing its Windows 95 operating system. Novell wanted more than $3 billion so it was probably worth fighting for. Since the 1990s, Microsoft has been pursued by government prosecutors, consumers and competitors for alleged antitrust violations when it was widely considered a monopolist.
