If they could get a court order, why did they not do so? I am really amused about the law feeling in the US. It seems to me, that in the US it is enough that a big company thinks that it can get a court order -- in that case nothing else is needed -- don't waste the time of the courts just go on. Why not allow MS to also do the punishment -- don't waste any court-time! Really cute! To come to your question: There are cases, where you can get warrants because you infringe patents. So, when MS thinks, that I could infringe one -- why not search my office documents first?? Is this enough example? I would say, there could be thousands ... just imagine a world where the lawyers of the big companies make the court decisions ... <sarcastic>would be OK, they are making the laws anyway!</sarcastic>
