Bill Gates of MicrosoftKnown for his philanthropy and his being the richest man on Planet Earth, Bill Gates will likely come to Utah to testify over a lawsuit filed by Novell, based in Utah County. Bill Gates and Microsoft Word won world domination, and Word Perfect lost its dominant position as the best word processing software. The battle was lost, but perhaps not the war. The case boils down to: Did Bill Gates and Microsoft use its power in rewriting the Windows 95 operating system to thwart Novell’s efforts to make their software compatible? A federal judge in a Salt Lake City court will decide. Novell is seeking $500 million $1.2 billion for alleged monopoly practices. This story has been reported on ABC News, Fox News and best by the Deseret News’ Dennis Romboy.

I am a story teller and journalist. I have a passion for farmers, local craftspeople, and folks who aspire to create, build and grow their business in the local marketplace. Why local? By supporting locally-owned businesses we create more opportunity for entrepreneurs, and we claim our sovereignty to shape our communities how we want to see them. I aspire to build Utah Stories Magazine into a household Utah name, and assist Utah businesses and makers with marketing. On the journalism side of things my passion is investigative journalism that offers true insight into issues. I believe strongly in the forth estate: strong, meaningful, insightful journalism is essential to a free market Democracy.
