Here is Reuters' early story on Microsoft/Java Judge orders Microsoft to remove Java logo for now SEATTLE, March 24 (Reuters) - A federal judge Tuesday ordered Microsoft Corp. MSFT.O to remove the "Java-compatible" logo from two of its products while a lawsuit brought by Sun Microsystems Inc SUNW.O proceeds. U.S. District Judge Ronald Whyte in San Jose, Calif., issued the injunction against Microsoft after a hearing on the issue last month, Microsoft spokesman Mark Murray said. The ruling affects Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser and Java software developers kit, both of which had been promoted as "Java-compatible" under a license arrangement with Sun. Sun requested the injunction as part of its lawsuit charging that Microsoft has broken its license agreement by shipping versions of the Java technology that are incompatible with its standards. "We will immediately comply with the court's order, but we remain confident that once all the facts are presented in the larger case the court will find Microsoft to be in full compliance," Microsoft associate general counsel Tom Burt said in a statement. "We are disappointed by the court's decision, and we believe that Microsoft has been in full compliance with our contract with Sun." Murray said Microsoft had not yet decided whether it will appeal the ruling. REUTERS Rtr 19:17 03-24-98 Copyright 1998, Reuters News Service
