Microsoft could design stripped-down Windows, expert testifies | |

The government's technical expert testified Tuesday that Microsoft could create a Windows version stripped of add-on products without breaking the dominant PC operating system. ''Microsoft has already done much of the engineering work necessary,'' said Andrew Appel, a computer science professor at Princeton University. Nine states want a federal judge to make Microsoft produce a stripped-down Windows after an appeals court ruled that the giant illegally protected the near-monopoly software from competition. The company would also have to disclose Windows' code, so rival products work well with the system, among other sanctions. | ||

Jerk, fyi the Apple market cap is currently 8.8 Bil not 17 Bil.
Um, anything "at the core" of a product which can be removed isn't really "at the core". Accepting mouse input is "at the core" of a GUI experience, if you remove that you have drastically changed the experience at in many cases made user interaction impossible. Also, you can do many things when you build a product from the ground up especially when not taking backward compatiblity in mind. I understand your point, but as usual I disagree. |
