Looks like Microsoft is getting some heat from Symantec now… I can’t believe they would repackage sometime from Symantec and use it as their own. I guess they are having software block heads running the company and they will bring Bill Gates back later as Chief Software Architect since he ‘s the only one that writes codes instead of doing a copy and paste job.
Symantec alleges that parts of Vista were developed using misappropriated data storage technologies developed by storage management company Veritas, which Symantec bought in 2005. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, relates to a contract between Microsoft and Veritas, which merged into Symantec last year, dating to 1996.
Symantec alleges that "Microsoft has deliberately and surreptitiously misappropriated Symantec's valuable data-storage technologies, misled and thereby convinced the United States government to issue patents to Microsoft based on technologies invented by Symantec, attempted unsuccessfully to persuade Symantec to forgive Microsoft' s misdeeds under the guise of expanding a business relationship, and ultimately built portions of its next generation operating system on this house of cards."
