"[...] according to reports, Apple is reviving the look-and-feel wrangle by
alleging that Microsoft virtually blackmailed Apple into granting a license
[ for Windows ] by saying it would not develop applications for the Mac
without it.

"'If Apple succeeds, it would effectively mean Microsoft recalling every
Windows product it has sold, and re-writing it all,' said one Washington
State observer.

"John Sculley, Apple president and CEO, believes he has found a way of
challenging Microsoft licensing rights, and has asked a judge to declare the
agreement void on two counts. Besides claiming that Microsoft threatened to
drop its support for the Mac if it was not given the license, Apple also
maintains that Microsoft has transgressed the nature of the original
agreement."
