“Microsoft will argue in Federal District Court Monday that
Caldera should be barred from entering two versions of Windows 3.1

in the civil case was completed.”

“Caldera claims the programs support its charge that Microsoft
manipulated Windows 3.1 with error messages and bugs to convince

challenger to MS-DOS, for US$400,000 from Novell in 1996 and
immediately went to court.”
