Evil Designers Guide to Copying Patents

[MassiveProng]

A network capable display technology flew in the face of Microsoft's
policy to sell one copy of each app per seat.

It still required an installed app. It merely allowed it to be run
on another CPU on another machine, passing only screen and Kbd I/O
back to the user. It also was unable to be run on "multiple seats"..
That wasn't what I was talking about at all. I was talking about the
beginnings of distributed process technology.

DesqViewX was ahead of its time, for sure.

In the sense that Tonya Harding was hedging her bets?[1]
Nope.

No,
offering two products with different features is hedging. Win3.1 and
NT, for example.

[1] Tonya Harding, Nancy Kerrigan, ice skaters, 1994 Olympics,
remember?

Yeah. Fucktard comparison.

Having known James for many years, I am proud to have him as a fellow
Fucktard.

ROFLMAOPIMP!

Microbrain probably thinks he made up the term - here's another
example of how accurate he is:

Or should I descend to his/her/its level and say, "Takes one to know one,
nanner, nanner, nanner!"

OS/2 was ALL IBM, and they had an agreement with MicroSoft to be
provided with the required code base to give them win 32 support.

MassivelyWronge, as usual. IBM and M$ were full partners on OS/2.
In fact NT was supposed to be OS/2 V3.

THAT is what they backed out of.

You're just so dim, Dimbulb.

Your phrase was semantically ambivalent.

You're an idiot. OS/2 was an IBM product. The only involvement MS
had was that they were supposed to provide IBM with windows
compatibility.

NT was MS' next windows product, and was completely a Windows
product and was NOTHING like OS/2.

You're just so dim, Dimbulb.

You're a goddamned retard. You make shit up at every turn.

Just like your WRONG bullshit about shaped charges

 

[joseph2k]

[snip]

OS/2 was quite superior, in fact. That was, however, a direct threat
not just to Bills market share, but to his entire empire. What would
you have done?

OS/2 was a joint Microsoft/IBM project up to a point. Microsoft could
have elected to go with OS/2 as the basis of their product line.
Instead, they worked to undermine it even while they were still
partnered with IBM.

So could DesqViewX. Better even. It was an Xserver, and could even
run a process on a remote machine if the network was TCP/IP. It was
truly the superior product of it's time, but their failure to get full
win32 comparability was their downfall as well.

A network capable display technology flew in the face of Microsoft's
policy to sell one copy of each app per seat.

[snip]

Just so you know, I was going to become an OS/2 engineer.

About the time Microsoft was exiting the OS/2 partnership with IBM, the
company I worked for was dragging everyone who didn't know any better to
OS/2 school. The existing IT folks supporting it were leaving faster
than proverbial rats leaving a sinking ship. They understood the folly
of going against the Microsoft marketing machine. Even though Microsoft
has yet to develop something that is barely a shadow of that system,
they figured it was better to bide their time with Windows
3.1/95/98/NT/2000 and now Vista than to incur the wrath of the monster
from Redmond.

The smart folks with the big engineering apps jumped over to Unix or
just never left. Call me when Vista is a viable candidate for a Beowulf
cluster.

Not quite, they were all Unix (or mainframe) from the start. Later, they
migrated or died.

 

[joseph2k]

Likely never happen as it is a specifically keyed to desktop use OS.

You may see an XP embedded clustering application though.

Most of the embedded folks hate the fact that MS killed their
NT/Win2k embedded support,and has forced them all to the slightly
larger XP embedded kernels.

I wonder how the easily superscalar "cell" CPU will progress in all
this multicore mux.

WTF, are alleging the M$ does clustering? When, where and from Who did you
that base canard from?

on another CPU on another machine, passing only screen and Kbd I/O

DesqViewX was ahead of its time, for sure.

Not at all, it was merely a DOS port of the previously existing X-windows
technology. The licensing fees that they had to pay is what jacked the
price up out of consideration. (4X what M$windows 3.0/3.1 was priced at).
In the consumer markets it has always been price, not how well it works.

You're an idiot. OS/2 was an IBM product. The only involvement MS
had was that they were supposed to provide IBM with windows
compatibility.

Clueless again (don't you ever get tired of being wrong?). OS/2 was
sold by M$ to non-IBM customers. They were a FULL partner (primary
on V1.2) in the development of OS/2.

Why don't you try Google, MassivelyWrong?

A random (first) hit:
http://pages.prodigy.net/michaln/history/os211/index.html

"The flavor of OS/2 1.1 I played with was an OEM version (Zenith)
of Microsoft OS/2."

NT was MS' next windows product, and was completely a Windows
product and was NOTHING like OS/2.

Nope. It was to be called OS/2 V3, and IBM was to use it as well.

You're a goddamned retard. You make shit up at every turn.

Like the turbine Indy cars, Dimmie?

Just like your WRONG bullshit about shaped charges

We've not even talked about "shaped charges" (another MassivelyWrong
statement you insist upon), Dimbulb. Your track record is so perfect
that this ought to be a trip, though.
