Amiga Inc. Plans to Shutdown Illegal Uses of Amiga IP : Comment 145 of 172 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Hammer on 30-Jul-2002 23:43 GMT | In reply to Comment 142 ([JC]): > Adding additional functionality is hardly bastardising it. MS Java runs
> everything Sun Java does,
It doesn't actually; there are some incompatible issues with it.
MS Java doesn't run everything Sun Java does. I notice this when I did Java as a subject for my Computing degree, which in turn I have to download the latest Java 1.4 kit from SUN's web site.
> it is up to the programmer as to whether he uses the MS extras.
MS has to withdraw the thier "Java" product, since SUN is not happy with it. SUN has won the Java case against MS. There's nothing MS can do but to comply to SUN's wishes.
> No, all MorphOS does is look the same, feel the same (and we all know Apple > lost on those two points),
Well, MS Windows doesn't feel like Apple product. Atari's TOS closer to MacOS than MS’s Windows btw.
Secondly, Apple didn’t invent WIMP systems i.e. it was Xerox who first invented WIMP/GUI system. Apple is stretching that case a bit to far.
It's no wonder Apple lost that legal challenge.
Can MS copy the "look and feel" MacOS X this time round?

Did I claim this?

In your view "it's the best chance to get the Amiga up to date and on to
new hardware".
> AInc have chosen to be greedy, and now that they see they
I don't recall being greedy as a crime.
> can't compete with MorphOS (because MorphOS just has too much of a head

Have Amiga Inc initiated their legal actions?
September 1st 2002 AD is the Amiga Inc's legal action date. |
