“In a plodding but potentially far-reaching federal court case,
a private antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft is marching

“Caldera — owner of DR-DOS, which tried to compete with
Microsoft’s MS-DOS — is alleging that Microsoft committed a slew
of illegal acts…”
“A Microsoft document that Caldera is using as an exhibit says:
“On the DR side, we have begun an ‘aggressive leak’ campaign for
MS-DOS 5.0. The goal is to build anticipation for MS-DOS 5.0 and
diffuse potential excitement/momentum from the DR DOS 5.0
announcement.”
