Sadly True! But I think Oracle is the FLIP FLOP KING on this
subject of Patents, Copyrights and Trade Secrets!
Because Microsoft has always been Proprietary and never stated
that support Open Source and to the contrary has always loved
abuse of Software Patents, Copyrights and the Embrace Extend
Extinguish practice that's always been one of their Trade
Secrets!!! ;-P[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Something of a tangent:
Back in the WP and Word for DOS, I was thoroughly frustrated with WP until Word
came along. WP expected me to play Twister with my fingers, while Word let me
use a single key (Esc) to get to a navigable menu. Long after DOS faded, I read
an older UNIX book that discussed EMACS with particular attention to how easy
EMACS was to navigate, with a menu system that the user could initiate with a
tap of the Esc key.
So, does anyone in the know have an idea as to whether this is one of the
features MS 'borrowed' from someone else?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
