Jim Allchin on the WinXP component question | |
|
||
| Time: 12:01 EST/17:01 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Steve Ballmer's paranoid fantasies about how many zillions of versions of Windows there would have to be if the States got their way were one way of dealing with the issue of componentisations of Windows, but the deposition of fellow MS exec Jim Allchin seems to have covered the issue in a more rational way. We say "seems to," because material in the deposition transcripts that is deemed to be "company confidential" has been excised, so although it's clear that Allchin was questioned in some detail about componentisation, for some reason what one surmises must have been the answers are too sensitive for general consumption. This seems to go for the generality of subjects covered; whenever it starts getting interesting, the gaps start getting bigger. Still, it takes less time to read white space. | ||

The Register Writer: Slow news day boss.
The Register Editor: Yep. Let's make up something about Microsoft! The Register Writer: OK! Good idea... (begins furiously typing on keyboard) |

| Uh, they've been providing an analysis of a snippet a day since these depos were released. And even with their usual sarcasm and anti-microsoftisms, it's still based on Allchin's testimony and makes a lot of valid points. |

| How the hell would sodajerk know what a "valid point" is? Hey jerk, no one cares about your opinion anymore. You have proven yourself nothing short of incompetent, and your "bait" is tiresome. |
