hitmanblood 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 Well I would like point out that you jmight have wrong there. IN the part where you say that Microsoft is not able to achieve platform independence. Because that is completly false and not true. Why? Well there are som many resons but the most important one is that Microsoft doesn't want applications doen for windows to be compatible with other operating systems and this is reasons why aren't they actually working on such thing to make C# Visual Basic Visual Java JAva# and so on that is parts of their Visual Studio. They don't want it to work. They want that applications that are written for Microsoft Windows Operating System stay on htat system and that people using anad working on it keep using as well as their operating system and their office packages and so on. This buisness practice in fact maximizes their profit/So I am pretty sure that Microsoft is deliberately working on their new standards and so on just to push out competition even though sometimes such illegal practice buisness practice was considered get them sued and this is the main reason why they pay so ,much money. Like the last sue of more then 500 million, howeveer I consider this process really bad and that it was not good and without any valid reason and that Microsoft will win on appeal.
