Microsoft spins out software-protection tech
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft said on Tuesday that it is spinning out as a separate business a
| two-year-old effort that licenses its software-protection technologies to
| other companies.
|
| In the past two years, Microsoft has signed up 120 companies to use the
| software activation and licensing technologies, including its own eHome unit.
| But it decided creating an independent company was the way to go.
|
| The new venture, dubbed InishTech, will be based in Ireland. Microsoft will
| retain a stake in the company as well as an observer seat on its board of
| directors. Microsoft also plans to be a customer of the company.
