Microsoft drops charges against blog

Microsoft has dropped the threat of legal action against engadget.com, reports ZDNet UK News. Engadget, a popular technology blog, raised the ire of Microsoft by posting screenshots of Windows Mobile 2005, an as-yet-unreleased version of Windows for cell phones and other mobile devices. Lawyers for Microsoft sent engadget a letter, saying ?You may otherwise be liable for trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation, and/or other remedies at law, including civil and criminal penalties.? In recent months, several blogs and online news sites have been sued for content they posted.
