Topic: Apple vs. Microsoft


  
 Apple v. Microsoft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Others said Microsoft was the bad guy, brazenly stealing from Apple's work and flouting the law, and that if Microsoft won, a precedent was set that would allow big companies to steal the core concepts from any software developer's work and get away with it.
Many feared that Apple's tactics would result in a monopoly where people had to pay high prices for using Apple products which would be the only company who could use GUI on computers.
When Microsoft made large improvements in Windows 2.0, such as overlapping windows and other more Macintosh-like GUI features, Apple filed suit, and then added additional claims to the suit when Windows 3.0 debuted.

 Daring Fireball: The Art of the Parlay, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying About Platform Licensing and Market Share
Apple matured into a modestly profitable computer company.
Apple could not have simply licensed the “Mac OS” to run on any existing personal computer platform.
Apple’s pitch has always been that you should buy an Apple computer, not that you should replace Microsoft’s OS with theirs.

 Apple Macintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Macintosh's predecessor, the Lisa computer, was introduced in January 1983 for a price of $9,995.00 with many of the GUI-related innovations later seen on the Macintosh.
personal computers manufactured by Apple Computer, Inc. of Cupertino, California,
The Snow White language appeared consistently on Apple's computers, monitors, numerous peripheral devices, and even on the plugs of cables.

 DEVELOPMENTS: APPLE V. MICROSOFT AND LOTUS V. BORLAND
Therefore, in the future most cases involving infringement of computer software program will involve non-literal copying of either source code or a user interface, as was the case in Computer Associates and Apple.
Because it involved literal copying of the Lotus 1-2-3 command sequence, as opposed to non-literal copying (that is, structural or organizational copying), the Lotus decision is less significant than either Apple or Computer Associates, which was discussed in detail in our last issue.
This approach is very similar, if not identical, to the approach taken by the Second Circuit in Computer Associates International, Inc. v.

 Findings of Fact - United States of America v. Microsoft Corporation, C.A. 98-1232; State of New York, ex rel. Eliot ...
Microsoft feared all of these technologies because they facilitated the development of user-oriented software that would be indifferent to the identity of the underlying operating system.
Microsoft's first response to the threat posed by Navigator was an effort to persuade Netscape to structure its business such that the company would not distribute platform- level browsing software for Windows.
Microsoft was quick to point out that if Windows users detected problems with the software that came pre-installed on their PC systems, they would blame Microsoft or the OEMs, even if fault lay with Intel.

 APPLE COMPUTER, INC. v. MICROSOFT CORP., 35 F.3d 1435 (9th Cir. 1994)
Apple, however, contends that its audiovisual work with animation and icon design cannot be analogized to factual works such as game strategy books, see Landsberg v.
Microsoft released Windows 2.03 and later, Windows 3.0; its licensee, Hewlett-Packard Company (HP), introduced NewWave 1.0 and later, NewWave 3.0, which run in conjunction with Windows to make IBM-compatible computers easier to use.
Apple cannot get patentlike protection for the idea of a graphical user interface, or the idea of a,desktop metaphor which concededly came from Xerox.

 IGM: HP to ship 4G iPods on Sept 5
MICROSOFT: Microsoft will see huge adoption to their online store, not only due to sheer Windows numbers, but also due to the migration of other Windows centric online store customers migrating to the Microsoft store.
While Microsoft always does this, it has been quite some time since a direct attack against its developers has been so high profile.
Free software gave Microsoft's Windows a monopoly but free MP3's are about to bite it on the ass.

 Downloads
Together with Microsoft Exchange Server, the Microsoft Outlook for Mac messaging and collaboration program makes it easier to communicate, collaborate, and share information with others, whether they're using a Macintosh or Windows-based computer.
For best download results, make sure you're running the following on your Macintosh computer: Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.5 (or later) or Netscape Navigator (or later).
This new version makes it easier than ever for you to work in cross-platform environments and run Windows applications right on your Mac.

 MacSlash Cringely: Apple v. Microsoft
The missing fact is that Apple's word processor and spreadsheet would, like Keynote, be designed to read and write Microsoft files.
By the time Apple releases a full office suite, Microsoft announcing it's going to stop development on Macintosh software would have barely more impact than Microsoft announcing it's going to stop development on Linux software.
Apple also introduced a $99 PowerPoint competitor called Keynote.

 U.S. v. MICROSOFT
Microsoft has been the dominant supplier of personal computer desktop
Microsoft's rivals by restricting their output more than they further Microsoft's legitimate
Microsoft browsers, and Microsoft has not explained how those exclusions might benefit

 U.S. v. MICROSOFT
Because evidence of Microsoft's conduct directed at Intel and Apple to disadvantage Netscape or generally to maintain its monopoly is intrinsic to proving the elements of the plaintiffs' claims and the context in which those violations occurred, the exclusions of Rule 404 do not apply.
Apple is both relevant and highly probative to demonstrate that Microsoft has engaged in a

 Apple v. Microsoft
Some say Apple should be careful about such finger-pointing, given the resemblance between Dashboard, an information display feature planned for Tiger, to Konfabulator, a third-party program for Macs.
Pilla said that search is a core task that is being addressed within many Microsoft units, including those handling Windows, Office and MSN.
Microsoft plans a similar feature, known as Sidebar, for Longhorn.

 APPLE v. MICROSOFT - COURT OF APPEALS DECISION
Since Apple first sued Microsoft for copyright infringement in 1988, claiming that the Microsoft Windows interface infringed the Apple interface, we have carefully followed and reported on the case.
For all practical purposes, this decision ends Apple's seven year struggle to challenge Windows.
In our October 1992 issue we summarized the full history of the litigation, and reported that the trial judge had ruled against Apple on every issue in the case.

 Apple v. Microsoft: The End at Last?
Apple had objected to Microsoft’s release of Windows 1.0.
While it is well-settled that copyright protections extend to computer software, the extent to which copyright law protects screen displays has been the subject of much litigation, with many courts reaching varied results.
The two companies struck a deal whereby Microsoft could continue marketing Windows 1.0 and all derivative versions.

 WWDC: Apple blasts Microsoft's Longhorn MacMinute News
In its boldest move to date, Apple is displaying several banners for Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" at the Moscone Center in San Francisco that make it quite clear the company's feelings toward Microsoft and the software giant's upcoming operating system.
At its Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple has taken a rather large shot at Microsoft's Longhorn, the next major release of Windows.

Why Apple is Pulling Away From Microsoft and Can't Afford Not to Do It By Robert X. Cringely
So that's what is behind these new Apple products.  All the pundits said Apple couldn't afford to do any new products for MacWorld, but seen this way Apple couldn't afford not to.  But why didn't they put a numeric keypad on that 17-inch PowerBook?  Beats me.
I only hope it works better this time than it did for the ill-fated Lisa.

 Definition of Graphical user interface
For this reason, many people refer to PUIs as WIMPs, which stands for Windows, Icons, Mouse, Pointer.
Encyclopedia Index: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
The term GUI is similarly used synonymously with a WIMP system, and most modern GUIs are certainly WIMPs, although occasionally other metaphors surface, such as Microsoft Bob, 3dwm or (partially)

 Joshua's Place - Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Me!
When will people learn that everyone has their prefrences, and that neither Microsoft, nor Apple are evil.
I am really starting to like the Macintosh platform, despite the fact that most of my friends like one platform and totally trash the other platforms.
I would have had a hard time saying that four months ago though.
