Founder of Go Computer, Inc. sues Microsoft

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the no-such-thing-as-a-statute-of-limitations dept.

wantobe writes "From Yahoo! News 'Microsoft saw Go's PC operating system as a serious threat to its operating system monopoly and took swift covert action to 'kill' it just as it did the Netscape/Sun Java threat to its monopoly," according to Go's private action in federal court. ' Are Kaplan's complaints warranted, or is he just taking advantage of some recent Microsoft court losses and trying to get his cut? "

    Why didn't anyone mention to the DOJ that Mickeysoft should release 'driver source code'.

    It's worth noting that the only platform that "requires driver source code" is Linux - everyone else's is stable enough such that hardware vendors can write their own drivers and not have to worry about the next sub-minor kernel revision breaking them.

    If Mickeysoft did do it then they should pay.

    It was standard procedure from them. The government didn't do anything under the do-nothing Republicans.

    Which brings up the Justice departments ridiculous penalty or slap on the hand . Why didn't anyone mention to the DOJ that Mickeysoft should release 'driver source code'.Hardware makers should have been forced to release technical details or not use Mickeysoft's OS. Anything that dealt with 'lockin' should be opened.

    Also breaking the OEM and MSFT monopoly would have been a nice idea. So you would have to buy the 'expensive' software off the shelf. That might have made people think twice about buying it.

    Nope.

    I hope he tears MS a new asshole over this. I would suspect for every one individual f*ucked by MS who actually finds incriminating evidence via other cases discovery, there are 4, 5 more out there who don't.

    go GO
