●● Microsoft, Google Sued; Microsoft Funds Legal Action Against Google

Posted in Courtroom, Google, Microsoft at 2:57 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Microsoft’s “if you can’t beat them, sue them” [or daemonise them] approach

Here’s a funny one:

A Utah man is suing Microsoft, Google and Bill Gates for $30,000,000 alleging that his email accounts were blocked by the companies.

Speaking of lawsuits, guess who is still working on having Google sued? Yes, it’s Microsoft. There are some recent examples of hostility that are very blatant (maybe this one too). Wired Magazine wrote about Microsoft's role in the book settlement and now we find this:

One such objection is coming from a group based at NYU law school, an effort partly funded by Microsoft. There have accordingly been some questions about the “independence” of this initiative.

Microsoft’s Google envy is spinning out of control and it now relies on a feeble Yahoo! to join the attack on Google.

U.S. software company Microsoft (MSFT.O) still sees value in a potential partnership with Yahoo (YHOO.O) even though it is no longer wants to buy it, chief executive Steve Ballmer said on Friday.

They are still talking, but is Yahoo making a mistake? █

“Google’s not a real company. It’s a house of cards.”

–Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO
