Microsoft is Suing Bandai
Redmond WA (AP)

Microsoft (MSFT) has announced a $54 million 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 infringement of its intellectual
property.

"Software that needs constant, even hourly attention, or
else it dies? Sounds like Windows to me", stated MSFT
spokesman Eric Longford. "This is clearly an infringement on
our technology."

Bandai refused to comment on the suit.
