According to CNET on 10/1, "Software maker Novell on Monday sued Microsoft
for alleged false advertising and demanded that its competitor publicly
renounce the statements.

In the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City, Novell
accuses Microsoft of false and misleading statements about Novell's software
in a direct-mail advertising campaign targeted at Novell's customers last
month. 

Novell is seeking monetary damages and an injunction to halt Microsoft's ad
campaign. Novell also wants Microsoft to correct its alleged misstatements
with a new advertising campaign, the suit said.

The lawsuit accuses Microsoft of mailing to Novell's customers a breakfast
cereal box that states Novell's NetWare network operating system has an
expiration date and could become obsolete. NetWare does not have an
expiration date, Novell executives said."
