Remember Bristol. The Caldera lawsuit is also going to jury and i am willing to bet MSFT will win there as well. The cases are so different that there's little reason to compare the two. Even if they were more similar, we're talking about a Utah jury that's considering harm to a series of Utah companies compared to a New England jury. I don't care what the case might be, if I represented an out-of-state company that caused some kind of harm to a Utah company, I wouldn't want to face a Utah jury. I think Caldera has a much stronger case than the litigious Bristol had -- strong enough that Calderda might even have a good chance of winning in New Hampshire if they were based there. But we're talking about Utah. Beyond the facts of the case, Microsoft must hope that their lawyers do a good job of pointing out that DR-DOS was a California product (developed by a Seattle native's company) and that its Utah connections are late and tenuous.
