Microsoft 11731 Published by

PC World posted a story that after seven years' preparation and a two-month trial, Novell's $1.3 billion antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft ended Friday in a hung jury.



Novell filed its lawsuit seven years ago, claiming Microsoft abused its dominant position in the PC OS market to harm Novell's desktop applications business.

The jury at the U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City, Utah, had been deliberating the case for almost three days after closing arguments were presented earlier this week. On Friday the 12-member panel informed the judge they were unable to reach a unanimous decision and the judge declared a mistrial.
