Urgh, why did I read that signature at the bottom of the document as Helly Brown
Chicken? Too much cold meds?

If you think about the Oracle v. Google trial, which recently
established the functional code like the 37 APIs Google used from Java can't be
copyrighted, you can see as we go through the evidence in this trial what an
advantage an established vendor has if it can control and monopolize
APIs.
It also shows how discounting copyrights in APIs proves
disadvantageous to Free Software.[ Reply to This | # ]

I have just reached the end of Mr. Johnson's opening statement. I did read
through a little of Mr. Tulchin's statement, but I felt the outrage rising and
decided to put it off 'till later.
I was surprised at the length of the
statement. It was very good and I now realise the importance of name space
extensions to both Microsoft and the ISVs. I had thought the issue was a
slightly improved Windows Explorer and now I know better!
Dictionary
Corner:
perfidy
n
1: betrayal of a trust [syn:
perfidy, perfidiousness, treachery]
2: an act of deliberate betrayal
[syn: treachery, betrayal, treason, perfidy]
In 1990, Microsoft held a Strategy Seminar for a targeted group of trade
and business press, industry and financial analysts at which they said the
following.
Microsoft's tradition of open operating systems and
extensions will continue and be enhanced. We have no intention of closing up or
becoming a proprietary operating system company.
Have a look at
the PDF and see why they felt the pressing need for the seminar. Look at the
guidance to the presenters. What is the Mean Time Between Perfidy?
I
shall read Mr. Tulchin's statement in full at a later date, but already I see
the tell-tale marks of the Rochkind-BS&F-Mitchell- Müller Syndrome. It's
history in the re-making.

It seems from the opening statements that we are in for some real entertainment
when we get to actual evidence from Gates. He appears to have been effectively
called a liar several times already. We have probably all seen that before, in
people who hold high office, like certain politicians (anywhere in the political
spectrum, we don't want to debate their particular brand of politics here), who
rarely, if ever, are observed saying something that is not at least slightly
untrue. I am not an expert in that field, so I can't say if such people are
actually pathological liars, and as such are sick, but I do wonder sometimes. [ Reply to This | # ]
