Updated: Microsoft Crushing Small Businesses?

According to Microsoft-Watch, Microsoft plans to take Esiod Systems (a company created by two ex-microsoft employees) to court. We did some digging and managed to find the full email that Microsoft sent to the owners of Esiod systems. The company itself feels the following:

  • Microsoft has made an allegation without even reviewing the final software product. It has simply made this allegation based upon a press release which does not impart the technical and business objectives of Schnazzle. No version of Schnazzle has been publically released.

  • Schnazzle software was developed from scratch without use of Microsoft source code. We are willing to allow a third party expert to review the source code to make an independent determination. We are not willing to divulge our source code to Microsoft.

    Schnazzle™ (the product Microsoft has a problem with) is a dashboard which provides convenient and fast access to a networked digital media jukebox, your local weather, your favorite stocks, your common documents, and other sources of information. The dashboard displays a variety of Schnazzicles™, interactive parts providing convenient dashboard access.
