...Symantec Corp. sued software rival Microsoft Corp. on Thursday, accusing it of misappropriating trade secrets to develop its own competing features and products, including the next version of Windows.
The lawsuit filed in federal court in Seattle charges the world's biggest software maker with misappropriating intellectual property and breach of contract related to a licensing deal with Veritas, which Symantec acquired last year.
It also seeks an injunction that would block the further development, sale or distribution of Vista—the already- delayed next version of Windows—and other products until all Symantec intellectual property is removed.

Hmmm, just like the Holy Blood, Holy Grail v Davinci Code court case just before the movie came out.
There is no such thing as bad publicity!

There maybe a movie in the perpetual suing and countersuing between major corporations. Many in the end, agree never to sue each other as it was a waste of time and a complete waste of money. Their legal staff win either way.
