Microsoft Drops PalmPC

Posted by justin++ on Monday April 06, 1998 @05:07PM from the microsft-backs-down? dept.

Microsoft has to stop using the term PalmPC to describe the newest PalmPilot-like Handheld PCs. 3Com had filed suit in France, Germany, and Italy, but the case will never go to court. Also painfully obvious in the report is the fact that third party software is needed to some things with Pilots that can be done with Windows CE. They also didn't mention the software is free. More ZDNet FUD?
