Microsoft's Cambridge campus plan hits legal snag
InformationWeek | at | by Mike
Ray Ozzie's plan to build a major software development operation in Cambridge, Mass., has run into a roadblock in the form of a lawsuit filed by database provider InterSystems which doesn't want the software colossus as a neighbor.
InterSystems, a longtime occupant in the building at One Memorial Drive in the shadow of MIT, maintains that it, and not Microsoft, has rights to space in the building that Microsoft is planning to use. Also galling to InterSystems is that Microsoft is planning to install a large sign on the outside of the building.
