I've seen the sources to DEC's BASIC, and I've seen the sources to
Microsoft BASIC for the 8080. The code has no similarity to speak of.
They use different data structures and algorithms.
No similarity to the code means no copyright infringment.
The stories variously claim that they bought the tapes, were given the
tapes, or found them in a dumpster. None of these is theft.

You seem to have a pathological need to accuse Bill Gates and Microsoft
of crimes when you have no real knowledge of the events. Give it a rest
already. Bill may be a "bad person". He might even be a criminal. But
your irrational rants don't do anything but make you look foolish.

Did you notice that the reason given for dropping Clippie was that
Officd XP is for "eXPerts who don't need help". Not only, it would seem,
are they dropping the stupid animation, but the help feature as well.

In article <9b5cbi$[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] says...
[ ... ]

> Better?
Better, but still utterly wrong. One of the reasons companies
incorporate is that when they do, the corporation is then considered
an entity in and of itself. Employees and officers of the
corporation acting on its behalf are, to at least some extent,
protected from being personally prosecuted for what are considered
the actions of this separate entity, the corporation.
In the end, you've really got things entirely backwards: the only
reason they were on the stand in the first place was quite clearly
that they were involved with a huge corporation, of which the DoJ had
decided to make an example. If a mom 'n pop company had done all of
exactly the same things, nobody would even have blinked, not to
thought of taking them to court.
My personal belief is that the entire thing was done for a fairly
simple reason: until this came along, computer companies, software
companies in particular, were quite well known for remaining totally
Apolitical, and not contributing to lobbying efforts and such. Even
though our "representatives" in Washington can officially only
receive gifts of "nominal value" from lobbyists and such, the reality
is that they really receive a LOT of those gifts, and they bloody
well expect to receive their tribute from everybody who has enough
money to notice. Clinton and his henchmen decided they weren't
getting their unfair share, so they did any good protection racket,
and sicked their strongarm boys onto them to squeeze them for more
money.
Of course, the DoJ picks its targets carefully -- they go after
companies that not only have money, but that are perceived by their
peers as leaders. They want to make it clear that the WHOLE industry
had better pay up, or else they'll be next.
It's been highly successful: when they went after IBM, campaign and
lobbying contributions not only directly from IBM, but from the
entire rest of the industry at the time went up _substantially_.
This time around, the effect has been the same -- MS is now
contributing millions of dollars a year, and most of their larger
competitors like Sun are doing the same. This isn't because Sun is
doing anything terrible. It's a simple situation that it's been made
clear to them that their only choices are to pay up or get beat up
and then pay up anyway.

He _is_?? Is he the president? Treasurer? One of the vice presidents?
AFAIK, Allen is not even a director, which is not the same as being an
officer. I do not believe Paul Allen has been an officer since years and
years ago when he resigned, apparently because of a medical problem.
Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?
