Several emails back and forth between Apple and Microsoft
about how IE 3.0 is ignoring the plug-in API from Netscape,
which had become standard.
Microsoft's answer to rewrite the QT plugin as an ActiveX
control.
Later complaint about live preview being displayed outside
the Window bounds if the Window is moved.

This was a tough one to transcribe - a lot of very hard to
read words in there. Still left a few words as ???. Going to
give the transcription a rest for a while, but at least that
was 12 done this weekend.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Why would you take over QuickTime movies?
These are
Apple formats. The fact is that thirty of these file formats
have
become [de facto] standard formats. As such, Apple wants to be able to ??? some
of the unique benefits of QuickTime is these formats. By the way, MIDI
isn’t a Microsoft format at all. MIDI was created by the
MIDI
Manufacturer’s Association (MMA). The MMA is industry
consortium of
which both our companies are members. The MIDI
format is an industry standard
like MPEG.
This shows the narrow mindset of MS internal
culture.
True, it's another story, the one about anti-competitive behavior for
media playback, which MS was later taken to court over and found guilty, but
it's still a very stupid remark made by Windows-centric people who are living
entirely inside the world of their own creation.
