... Microsoft reaching out to him last year with interest in his work before going quiet and then launching its own winget rival.
Same old Microsoft tactics. That's exactly what Microsoft did with Stac Electronics' hard-drive compression software way, way back in the early 1990s. They got Stac to show them the software, stopped negotiations, then brought out their own DoubleSpace in MSDOS.
And people say that Microsoft is changed. Suckers!
