Microsoft slams Burst.com allegations
ZDNet | at | by Mike
Microsoft has denied it used stolen intellectual property to build Media Player 9 and has called Burst.com's account of last week's trial on the matter "inaccurate" and "groundless".
Microsoft was ordered by a U.S. judge last week to produce thousands of e-mails as part of an investigation into whether the software giant stole intellectual property from Burst.com and used it in Media Player 9.
Jim Desler, PR manager at Microsoft Corporate Communications told ZDNet UK: "Microsoft vehemently denies Burst's allegations and contends that the technology that is part of our Media Player 9 was developed by Microsoft engineers."
