fyi - The following is a newsclip from yesterday (August 19, 1998). I'll comment briefly below. * Bristol Technology Inc. said it filed an antitrust suit against MICROSOFT CORP alleging that the software giant had stifled its efforts to develop Windows NT-related software. Bristol was an early partner in the development of Windows NT -- Microsoft's effort to create a business computer operating system that would replace other such software systems. In the lawsuit, Bristol said it seeks unspecified damages for and injunctive relief from Microsoft's anti-competitive behavior. (Reuters 09:48 AM ET 08/19/98) For the full text story, see: infobeat.com --- Comments: This is an interesting suit to track (in my opinion), as Bristol's grievance is nearly identical to that which AUGI/eXodus would seem to also have against Microsoft. I tend to discount value of the NTerprise asset to zero in my own analyses, and I will continue to do so, but this turn of events does have potential ramifications that could be significant. - Mitchell
