And just after the announcement that they're going to bring the new 
digipet monster thingies to PC's. On a CD no less! But hey, leave it to 
Microsoft to spoil everyone's fun...                              -dave








Redmond WA, (AP).

Microsoft (MSFT) has announced a 54 million dollar lawsuit
against Tomagotchi maker, Bandai.  Microsoft is claiming that
the Tomagotchi (the Japanese electronic pet that's all the rage
with the kids) is an infringment of its intellectual property.

Microsoft spokesperson, Erik Loregard stated "Software that needs
constant, even hourly attention, or else it dies? Sounds like
Windows to me.  This is clearly an infringment on our technology".

The Bandai company spokesman refused to comment on the suit.
