Novell v. MS Trial Transcripts as text - Day 2, October 18, 2011, Opening Statements ~pj
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, June 03 2012 @ 08:04 PM EDT
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.

Novell v. MS Trial Transcripts as text - Day 2, October 18, 2011, Opening Statements ~pj
Authored by: Ian Al on Monday, June 04 2012 @ 04:28 AM EDT
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.

Liar. liar, pantz on fire!
Authored by: tiger99 on Monday, June 04 2012 @ 04:54 AM EDT
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.
