Benkea, there have been at least 7 suits filed against Soft: <<Wave of private lawsuits broadens legal threat against Microsoft By David E. Kalish AP Business Writer November 22, 1999 NEW YORK -- A growing wave of private lawsuits against Microsoft Corp. suddenly has the company fighting on several legal fronts at once, raising the stakes in its antitrust battle in Washington and intensifying pressure on Microsoft to settle the case. At least seven lawsuits, including one filed today in San Francisco, have been filed on behalf of computer users in response to a judge's Nov. 5 finding that Microsoft is a software monopolist that routinely bullies high-tech rivals. The finding provided grist for allegations by computer users that Microsoft's monopoly gave it substantial leeway to overcharge for its Windows software program....>> chicagotribune.com The money is not the biggest problem for Soft - hours and hours and hours in depositions (and other fun things like having personal calendars and computers gone through by a bunch of lawyers) for key personnel instead of attending to business.
