Cambridge company says Microsoft lease is unfair

,----[ Quote ]
| InterSystems Corp. CEO Phillip Ragon has called One Memorial Drive home for 
| the past 20 years. 
| 
| But the longtime Cambridge resident and MIT graduate said the building’s 
| landlord, the Blackstone Group, has a plan in the works to potentially brand 
| the 17-story office tower as “the Microsoft building” by endorsing large 
| Microsoft signs to be placed on three exterior sides and leasing out the top 
| three floors to the out-of-town competitor.    
| 
| “A big Microsoft sign across the top might imply that Cambridge is 
| Microsoft,” said Ragon, whose sixth-floor conference room features an 
| impeccable city view. “It really sets an image for the city.”
