Two ex-employees of Microsoft were about to launch a new home networking product this week when Microsoft's lawyers stepped in to block its sale. The two employees, Siddhartha Rao and Caleb Doise, had left Microsoft to form their own company, Esiod Systems. The duo has created a completely new protocol that would let people transfer media across a wireless network, allowing for media to be streamed to any PC in a house. The shareware software they created that used the protocol is called Schnazzle, and was meant to go on sale this week.
