Just wondering what is happening with the Apple/Microsoft lawsuit regarding
Windows 2.0 (and, presumably, Windows 3.0).  I haven't heard a thing since
hearing that the judge dismissed some of the points, but left others.

Personally, I'd LOVE to see the faces of my PC-coworkers (who smugly say 
"See, now my PC is JUST like a Mac !) when their software becomes illegal!

Of course, maybe Apple (and Microsoft, for that matter) would be better
served by letting Windows deliver the coup de grace to OS/2 and Presentation
Manager BEFORE letting the judge decide that Windows infringes on the Mac's
Look-and-Feel.

Sorry if this starts another flame-fest about the merits of the lawsuit.
