Microsoft Pleased With New Turn In Java Suit Matt Hines, Newsbytes 02/18/99 Newsbytes News Network (c) Copyright 1999 Post-Newsweek Business Information, Inc. All rights reserved. SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1999 FEB 18 (NB). Microsoft Corp. [NASDAQ:MSFT] recorded a momentary victory in its ongoing federal case against Sun Microsystems Inc. [NASDAQ:SUNW] Inc. today. U.S. District Judge Ronald Whyte told Microsoft a preliminary injunction he issued against the software giant last November does not prohibit the firm from developing breeds of Java not including any of Sun's Java code. The injunction ruled Microsoft could no longer market products which contained an altered version of Java. Sun maintains Microsoft intended to divert the "write once; run anywhere" programming language by streamlining it to perform best with its operating systems and encouraging its partners to adopt its own version of Java. While Microsoft refused to comment whether it has intentions to develop a new independent flavor of Java, Microsoft Associate General Counsel Tom Bert said in a statement, "Microsoft is very pleased with the court's ruling this morning. "This clarification is one step in this overall case, but it is important to the marketplace that innovation not be restrained." Sun Microsystems has yet to comment on the latest development.
