noncompetition pact

Microsoft and Sun agree to historic
noncompetition pact 04/12/2004 01:06 AM

Computing giants Microsoft and Sun announced a pact of noncompetition . Microsoft agreed to pay nearly $2 billion (and perhaps more ) to settle Sun's legal charges concerning unfair competition with their Java language.

Although some details remain to be worked out, speculation about potential effects of the pact is widespread. Gartner posted an analysis suggesting the two may join to expand their combined share of the server market. The future of Java, the powerful and popular language developed by Sun, is uncertain . Additionally, Microsoft has neutralized a powerful opponent , at least for the moment.

Motivations for this pact are various, and much discussed. The combination may be faced against Linux and IBM, as the open source operating system threatens both companies' operations, including Sun's Solaris/SPARC platforms. Financially, Microsoft ends a potentially costly suit, while Sun is dealing with high losses this year.

That Microsoft XML Patent

That Microsoft XML Patent 06/05/2005 11:19 PM

The coverage from ZDNet says the patent is for the conversion of objects into XML files; but if you read the patent itself, the important “Claim 1” doesn’t even mention XML, it’s just about serializing objects based on using an annotated source file and a schema. I was trying to find a way to write about this without becoming shrill and using bad language, but failing. Fortunately, I ran across a good opinion, shrill but not obscene, penned by Greg Aharonian who’s a real actual patent lawyer and thus qualified. Herewith a little bit of my own shrillness, followed by Greg’s professional evisceration of this extreme case of patent bogosity. [Update: slight correction regarding Don Box.]...
