Microsoft Trains for Cage Matches
May 23, 2009
The Toronto Globe & Mail’s “Toronto Firm Wins in Suit against Microsoft” here almost went direct to the trash basket. Before I hit the delete key, I thought I should scan the article by Simon Avery. The story was chilling, and it’s about 75 degree here in the mine run off pond in Harrods Creek, Kentucky. Mr. Avery wrote:
Privately-held i4i Inc. said that several years ago it approached the world’s largest software company with a breakthrough product in data processing, only to be spurned and to see its technology show up later in versions of Microsoft Word.
The courts agreed. Wow. Giant firm. Small outfit. Allegations of improper behavior and a law suit. Big companies can appeal and probably prevail. Looks like Google is warming up for the coming cage match with the GOOG. One hopes that it performs more effectively in search that it has in the Xbox wars. Click here for a surprising stat.
