The little software utility that uncovered the presence of Sony's stealth DRM hiding like a rootkit:twisted: inside a security engineer's computer, and that triggered the chain of events that eventually led to the annulment ruling of a multi billion dollar merger between Sony and BMG Music, is now a Microsoft product.

Cool.. MS will make use of the engineers from that small firm. You can compare it with buyout of Sysinternals by MS itself. :)
