    Microsoft Being Sued

    About time

    The talks went nowhere, but Microsoft ultimately developed multimedia technology of its own, code-named Corona, prompting Burst to sue Microsoft on charges of theft and anticompetitive behavior.

    Though Microsoft denies any wrongdoing, legal and industry experts believe it's a matter of time before Microsoft seeks a settlement following a legal setback by a federal judge who has appeared skeptical of the company's claims.

    Last month, U.S. District Judge Frederick Motz in Baltimore ordered from the bench that the world's largest software company must search for any deleted e-mails relating to those discussions with Burst.

    "Microsoft has been lately on a sort of settling spree, and I think they might take a serious look at settling this case with Burst," said Matt Rosoff, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft, an independent research firm in Kirkland, Wash., near Microsoft's Redmond headquarters.

I know you all...[/gloworange]
