Pardon my failing memory, but if memory serves, Microsoft lost that
argument and the court case, and was assessed serious damages, a

Stacker is still a major player, because Microsoft did what they
always do when they are losing -- they "invested in" Stacker. So,
LZS (the compression algorithm in question) is still widely used,
by Microsoft.
Oh, and the Stacker folks took the M$ money and spun off "hi/fn".
