In December, we reported that
the online greeting card company, Blue Mountain, was suing
Microsoft. They won the court case. Judge says software giant
rigged filter to stifle e-card rival Blue Mountain
“A Santa Clara County Superior Court judge said he believed
Microsoft Corp. intended to undermine a competitor when it created
an electronic mail filter that discarded the company’s electronic
greeting cards as junk e-mail, or spam.”
“Microsoft has said test versions of Internet Explorer 5.0 and
Outlook Express, the company’s upcoming Web browsing and e-mail
programs which have been downloaded by hundreds of thousands of
users, inadvertently blocked Blue Mountain’s cards.”
