Microsoft expects Sun to sue over Windows 98 Tuesday May 12, 10:56 am Eastern Time SEATTLE, May 12 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp.(MSFT - news). officials said Tuesday they expect rival Sun Microsystems Inc. (SUNW - news) o file a lawsuit seeking to block the shipment of the forthcoming Windows 98 operating system. Tod Nielsen, manager of developer relations, said Microsoft remained confident it would ship Windows 98 to computer manufacturers as planned this Friday for retail sale beginning June 25. Sun officials could not immediately be reached for comment. Nielsen said Microsoft was informed of the looming action Monday night by Sun executives, who said the request to block Windows 98 would be related to a lawsuit filed last fall over Microsoft's use of the Java programming code. Microsoft has a licensing agreement with Sun to use Java in its products, but Sun has argued in court that Microsoft's implementation of Java in products including the Internet Explorer 4.0 browser is not compatible with the licensing requirements. But Nielsen said the licensing agreement specifically bars Sun from seeking a court injunction against Microsoft, and he pointed out that Sun has never tried to stop shipment of Internet Explorer 4.0 despite the dispute between the two companies. o~~~ O
