IBM won't let you run their products on x86 platform. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kelman, Tom Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 10:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Mantissa Presenting at SHARE (March 6, 2009)?
If a company has a license for Windows itself can Microsoft restrict what hardware it is run on? That is as long as it is a licensed copy of Windows that gets run, and Mantissa isn't coming up with a Windows look alike. In that second case Microsoft would have a patent infringment case.
