Alert: MICROSOFT SAYS U.S. JUDGE RULES AGAINST IT IN SUN LAWSUIT
Reuters Story - November 17, 1998 18:18
Whyte's order specifically bars the sale of Windows 98 and Internet Explorer 4.0 with Java technology beginning in 90 days unless Microsoft modifies the software to comply with Sun compatibility tests.

Microsoft spokesman Jim Cullinan said the company was disappointed by the ruling, but would take the necessary steps to comply.

"We believe Sun's legal strategy is shortsighted and is trying to deny customers and developers the choice of the best Java implementation in the marketplace," Cullinan said.

Alan Baratz, president of Sun's Java Software unit, said the company would continue to deliver products, "that give developers and users the choice to replace Microsoft's polluted technology with Sun's compatible Java technology."
