The "gauntlet" in the phrase is the heavy glove once worn by knights in armor (and comes from a diminutive form of "gant," French for "glove"). A knight who threw his gauntlet down before another was issuing a formal challenge to duel, which his opponent then accepted by picking up the gauntlet. While formal duels are now a thing of the past (people seem to pretty much just up and shoot each other these days), "throwing down the gauntlet" lives on in more metaphorically combative contexts, such as courtrooms and proxy fights.

MS has started encroaching on Google's turf by attempting to enter the search engine market. Google has just fired back with an entry into the office suite market.
I know... I just felt like posting a vintage "Gauntlet" pic. Leave me alone.

Did they let him sleep with the Elf chick as part of his compansation? Also...WTF is Mr. T. doing in Gauntlet? I don't remember that and I played the game a lot. Was it a secret level or something?

No, I believe it's a novella based on the game, not a game itself.

Thanks for remembering. The sequel is supposed to be out this fall sometime, but no hard date yet. (sigh).
