Symantec Sues Microsoft, May Delay Vista

--- Quote from: "Slashdot" ---          AuMatar writes "Symantec filed a lawsuit [CC] against Microsoft over patents on the volume management technology in Vista. They're seeking an injunction to stop Vista from being sold until the suit is completed. Given the recent Supreme Court ruling it should be interesting to see if the injunction is granted, since Symantec does produce software which uses the patent. If it is granted, expect MS to settle to prevent another Vista delay."

I hope Vista gets delayed even more :).

H_TeXMeX_H:
Coolness ... they should fight to the death ... maybe both will die and the world would be a better place :D

GenuineAdvantage:
Well they wont. Maybe Symantec will die but not MS. Then again, they could be in on it together so that MS has an excuse to delay ol' Bloaty. In which case Symantec would just end up getting stabbed in the back, but that's not the point. Corporate wars, oh what fun. No it's not.

Pathos:
lol stupid patents

Symantec filed a lawsuit in Seattle today alleging Microsoft committed a host of business misdeeds, including misappropriating trade secrets and violating a contract that covered code

Not like that's never happened before.  :eek:

MS and Symantec in cahoots for a plausible excuse for yet another delay of Windows XP-II?

Symantec running scared because MS has finally gotten its act together and Vista won't be needing all Symantec's accessories to make it functional?

Slackware user here: I really don't care.  :p
