Time for Novell to file an anti-trust complaint Microsoft denying support to NT customers if they install NDS on NT is the equivalent of saying you can't put a competing product on the NT operating system. This is the logical extention for MSFT of their argument to Justice Jackson. Now they are saying if you install a competing product on our operating system you break the operating system. This action of threatening to deny NT customers support constitutes an unfair business practice. It is a intentional interference with Novell's business relationship with Novell's customers and an obvious attempt to deny Novell sales. Novell should file a complaint with the Anti-trust division. They are practically announcing their intent to make NDS on NT incompatible in NT5.0. That's how I read it. "See Judge putting NDS on NT makes it so it doesn't work. They've added a .dll file to OUR operating system. That constitutes a change to OUR operating system which only we can make or authorize. Therefore we are completely justified in denying support and revking the license of any NT customer that acts to tamper with OUR operating system i nthis way."
