Cheryl,

... especially when they benefit the corp. as a whole & put appl. vendors out of business. When this happens, the Feds are going to hear about it and be all over you like glue.

Again, what APIs? What specific applications were put out of business by what APIs?

Scott McNealy recently said that MSFT should be forced to open up their OS to the public or be busted up. The DOJ is listening....

I agree that the DOJ is listening to Scott McNealy, Jim Barksdale, and Larry Ellison. I wonder how much that costs?

Thanks,
Mike

hi Cheryl,

to be clear, i don't currently work at microsoft... i was one of those geeks in the hallways grumbling about how the marketeers had taken over the company, around about the time of win95... i couldn't see much had changed when i went back for some work on win98...

...as always i maintain the copyright laws are the problem...

fwiw
