Be sues MS

These paragraphs are fascinating...

                Should the case come to trial, the most incendiary
                part of the case is likely to focus on Paragraph 54,
                which alleges that Be Inc's IPO was sabotaged by
                Microsoft:-

                "Microsoft, in conjunction with third parties acting as
                its agents, succeeded both in artificially depressing
                the price at which Be was able to sell its initial IPO
                shares and in preventing Be from engaging in a
                post-IPO effort to raise investment capital through a
                private placement offering."

Who were those "third parties?"  I wonder if Rick Sherlund of Goldman
Sachs was involved in this?
