  1. Comment - Microsoft Patents Borg Technology

    Identical to the MAC OS.... your kidding right?
    If you want to go down that road... The MAC OS looks just like the original Xerox OS.
    Please do remember that if it was not for MS, Apple would no longer exist. Many of you MAC people seem to forget the $51 million bail out from MS a few years ago.

    McNealy needs to worry a bit more about his own company that keep going after Microsoft. The last I looked the SUN stock was at $3.

    And what would you say is a better product? Netscape... there is a stable product.
    Or how about Mozilla... installs ok but if you actually want to use it thats another story.

  4. Comment - Microsoft Ordered to Include Sun Java with Windows

    (Dec 24, 2002 - 8:51 AM)

    This is so wrong.....

    Sun sued Microsoft prior to have Microsoft's Java VM removed from the OS since Microsoft did not want to continue the current contract and pay for the licensing of Java from Sun. So Microsoft complied by removing the Java engine.
    Now Sun is sueing again to have Microsoft put their Java in back in the OS. Basically forcing Microsoft to buy Sun's product and incorporate it in the OS. How wrong is that?

    Basically Sun said either pay for it or take it out, so Microsoft opted to take it out. Now Sun relises with out the Java VM in the OS most people can not view Java based websites, including their own.
