Evidence Surfaces That MS Violated 2002 Judgement

whoever57 writes "In the Comes Vs. Microsoft case, the plaintiffs believe they have found evidence that Microsoft has failed to fully disclose APIs to competitors. If true, this would mean that Microsoft has violated the 2002 judgement. This information has become available since the plaintiffs have obtained an order allowing them to disclose Microsoft's alleged misbehavior to the DOJ ('appropriate enforcement and compliance authorities')."

    what is the worst that will happen to MS? And are they really concerned...ever?

    No, they're not concerned at all. They are not human beings running a software business in a very hostile environment (geeks /early adopters/ hate them, antitrust lawsuits flying from everywhere, huge burden of backwards compatibility to a decade of poorly conceived obsolete software, competition implementing features you can't, since you're not "trusted", .. and so on and so on).

    They in fact are evil alien creatures from the underworld, wearing long black capes, waving angrily their fists and shouting at the end of every episode "I'll get you next time, EU!!!".

    Yes! Bill Gates was so surprised that he dropped his monocle onto his white cat.

    I am shocked at such news. And here I thought Billy Gates was such a nice young man.

    Don't be lazy and do you own code. Do it better than the MS API that they are using. Oh, no, I forgot, it's easier to cry foul!

    And I don't care if you mod me down for this. Cry babies.
