>>Redmond WA, (AP).
>>Microsoft (MSFT) has announced a 54 million dollar lawsuit against
>>Tomagotchi maker, Bandai. Microsoft is claiming that the Tomagotchi
>>(the Japanese electronic pet that's all the rage with the kids) is an
>>infringment of its intellectual property.
>>
>>Microsoft spokesperson, Erik Loregard stated "Software that needs
>>constant, even hourly attention, or else it dies? Sounds like Windows
>>to me. This is clearly an infringment on our technology."
