DeepMetrix, Live Stats Software and Microsoft
I got enquiry about a product (Live Stats) from a company (DeepMetrix) which Microsoft recently acquired.
I found this news update on the DeepMetrix site
DeepMetrix Corporation is pleased to announce that we have recently been acquired by Microsoft Corporation. We are excited about being part of the Microsoft family and the potential it brings to positively impact product feature capability and overall value for our customers.
As part of the transition the DeepMetrix Sales office is now closed. We are looking forward to delivering the next generation of web analytics to you as a part of Microsoft.

I'm not sure if that's the correct answer, but it looks like a good response.
