3D software maker Softimage was acquired by Microsoft, managed

Who was that?

I'm not
aware of any connection between ASDG /Elastic Reality
and Microsoft. ASDG sold out to Avid... again, quite willingly.
Their products were barely marketed there and languished.
Really? I thought those two were M$ victims. I'm not
aware of the connection between .CAB and LZX. Did they
buy a technology or just hire the person?
They certainly hired the person, don't
know who actually owns the technology.
