 JUST IN: Microsoft verliert Prozess gegen Sun-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
 
 Laut dem lange erwarteten & genau zur Comdex 98 gefällten
 Urteil im Langzeitprozess muss Microsoft binnen 90 Tagen,
 alle Produkte, die "polluted Java" enthalten, vom Markt
 nehmen. A "stinging defeat" sagte CNNs Lou Dobbs,
 allgemein wird erwartet, dass dieses Urteil eine wesentliche
 Rolle im laufenden Kartellprozess gegen Microsoft spielen
 wird.
 News.com hat die Story momentan anscheinend exklusiv im
 Netz, weil man woanders ganz mit der Comdex oder den
 Lewinsky-Tapes beschäftigt war.

 A U.S. District Court judge today ruled on a preliminary
 injunction in the lawsuit brought by Sun Microsystems
 against Microsoft, and, according to Sun, "the court found
 that Sun is likely to prevail on the merits and granted Sun's
 request for injunction."
 
 Sun's statement went on to say: "The court ordered that if
 Microsoft ships products that include the Java technology, it
 must change those products within 90 days to address their
 failure to pass Sun's compatibility test suite."
 
 In a statement, Microsoft said, "We are disappointed in the
 court's ruling and are assessing our legal options while we
 comply with the court's order. We are disappointed in Sun's
 shortsighted legal strategy, which is limiting choice for
 customers and developers."
 
 Sun sued Microsoft in October 1997 for breach of contract,
 alleging that Microsoft's Java implementation failed to pass
 compatibility tests required in its licensing agreement.
 
 In May 1988, Sun filed companion motions seeking a
 preliminary injunction based on allegations of copyright
 infringement and unfair competition, Microsoft said in a
 recent regulatory filing.
 ....
 Sun's statement today concluded: "While this case proceeds
 through the court, we'll continue to use our enormous energy
 in the marketplace--as will the other companies that are the
 cornerstones of the Java technology industry--to deliver high
 performing Java technology that outperforms Microsoft's
 incompatible technology."
