The company was built on stolen code I don't think you know anything about software or this case. Be careful. Mr. B

The company was built on stolen code. The fact that the code is now clean, and that they have bought several clean companies, doesn't change the fact that the original basis of the company was obtained by theft., Charles, You should check out the latest edition of WindowNT magazine. In it you will learn that NT was stolen from Digital (or more properly, Many Digital Engineers came over to the Evil Empire with the Digital VMS O/S...) Yes, it seems that the original version of NT (before Win32.exe and windows GUI), was HEAVILY BASED upon VMS. Digital was getting ready to sue, but apparently as a compromise, MSFT offered to produce NT in a version that would support DEC's Alpha platform. So MSFT "DOES" steal technology. And then it bargains its way out of being sued. Regards, Ron
