Microsoft, HP and LPF also claim that Microsoft and HP have a right to develop Windows even without signing a license agreement with Apple and that, by signing such a "license", Microsoft didn't lose any rights that it had before. >However, the Judge has concluded that Microsoft's contention [about >what their agreement with Apple covered] would "defy common sense."
