Sto mi ih je nesto zao... korporacija koja je sinonim za poslovnu strategiju zvanu kao EEE (embrace, extend, extinguish/exterminate)

Mislim da je vest loshe preneta, rec je XML formatu u kome word snima dokumenta... tako da je zabranjena prodaja trenutnih izdanja worda (ovakvih kakvi jesu), a microsoft moze da nastavi da prodaje word kad, na primer, izbaci XML format. Naravno, opoziv ce kostati mnogo i zato se sada natezu... dal' ce proci M$ zalba videcemo.
Citat:
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas gave Microsoft 60 days to comply with the injunction, which forbids Microsoft from selling Word products that let people create custom XML documents, according to i4i. The ruling, which also includes additional damages Microsoft must pay, are related to a patent infringement suit filed by i4i.
The most common versions of Word on the market now, 2003 and 2007, both allow users to create custom XML documents.
Microsoft did not reply to questions about the affect the injunction will have on it and its ability to sell Word in the U.S. In a statement it said it planned to appeal the verdict.
An appeal could stay the injunction but even if the injunction stands, Microsoft could potentially strip the functionality from Word or possibly build a work-around.
