When is MS going to release a patch for Office 2007 that contains pirated (stolen) software. It has been convicted twice in US courts for pirating software for iCi (Canada) and forced to remove copies Office 2007 from retailers shelves.
And pay nearly $400 000 000 in damages. Of course like any deep pocketed offender it appeals (lost most recent) and is fighting all the way to Supreme Court.
iCi had a product that it was selling (to Department of Defense for one) and collecting fees for maintenance contracts.
This was until MS brought out their version of Office and suddenly iCi's business disappeared. Took years to get courts to force MS to open up their code for Office. Suddenly it was obvious stolen code embedded in Office. MS was caught.
Where's the patch??
