Microsoft claims that Novell is not the real party in interest in this antitrust case, and so it can't sue Microsoft for the claims it has lodged against it, because, Microsoft says, Novell sold its antitrust claims to Caldera when it sold it DrDOS. So the exhibits are trying to demonstrate that Novell got paid in full, so to speak, via that earlier litigation. As a result, we get to read a number of documents from the Novell v.

To prove its point, Caldera will soon release a piece of demonstration software called "[[WinBolt]]," which, it says, will allow users to install the Windows 95 interface atop DR-DOS.
