“A day after being sued by rival software maker Novell Inc.
for allegedly making “false and misleading” statements about its
products, Microsoft Corp., said on Tuesday it had already tried to
address the concerns and hoped the effort would be taken in good faith.

On Monday, Provo, Utah-based Novell filed suit in federal court in Salt Lake City, alleging
Microsoft had spread incorrect statements that Novell was shifting away from software
development.

Novell asked the court to order Microsoft to stop the advertising, issue “corrective advertising”
and pay unspecified monetary damages.” Full Reuters story at ZDNet.
