what a rosy view. microsoft windows (clicking icons versus typing commands) is based on the Apple operating system -- no? microsoft explorer is based on navigator -- no? this is a corrupt company as they all are in various ways -- no?
====================
Has Msoft been found legally guilty of any of these claims? The issue of exploiting and appropriating knowledge spillovers in the economy, if not forbidden explicitly by law, is simply part and parcel of capitalist competition with it's attendant systemic coercion, no?
Last for the day,
