Some excerpts from the brief:

Microsoft’s Interference With Be’s Financing Efforts

54. Microsoft not only closed off critical distribution channels for Be’s
products, it
also impeded Be’s ability to finance its business. 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.

56. As a direct and proximate result of Microsoft’s illegal conduct, nearly
the entire market value of Be as a publicly traded going concern, which once
exceeded one billion dollars, has been eliminated.
