Symantec on Thursday filed a lawsuit against Microsoft alleging that the software giant violated a contract over the use of intellectual property and used the technology to develop a competing product.

The suit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, and concerns a contract that Microsoft signed in 1996 with Veritas, which was acquired by Symantec last year. Symantec is also requesting an injunction to stop the further development, sale or distribution of Vista and Longhorn.
