[@ginskimpivot753]

The Java issue... Gates doesn't handle this too eloquently. MS wanted 'control' of Java because Sun wrote code which was universally accepted on multiple platforms whatever the hardware architecture. MS used Java code under license, but altered it so it would only run on Windows. In other words, when he says the Java bits showed off the unique features of Windows, what he really means is that MS set out to make universal Java APIs Windows-only, and not compatible with competitor programs. J/Direct in effect held developers to use a Microsoft version of Java to write software which would only work on Windows, and not work on platforms using pure Java universality. The interrogator isn't a software engineer, so is kind of fighting uphill. But the mistake Gates makes here is that he is taking his interviewer for being as dumb as Gates is treating him. Ironically, this is a glimpse into the world of software development just at the end of the period when wholesale theft of code was still occurring. It's no coincidence that the company who famously 'lifted' unprotected code and some of its best ideas from others, is in deep trouble with an anti-trust law suit here. Microsoft still believed it could pinch low-hanging fruit from others with impunity by virtue of its power and its profits running off the scale. The sad thing is they wanted to take the best parts of work others had done, but they also wanted to bury or seriously damage the originators after they had done so.

[@ginskimpivot753]

It's actually a pretty terrible performance by Gates. He keeps walking down dead-ends that he created himself in his own emails. He wanted 'control' of JAVA because it was the route to having overall mastery of the then most common and bespoke programming language for tailoring software to X86 and other platforms. It was rapidly gaining popularity because it was the ideal interface for the APIs that Windows needed to become a must-have OS. He wanted to avoid having to seek permissions from - and paying global usage licensing costs to - Sun, while in effect attempting to acquire the power to (potentially) force anyone writing applications for Windows/IE to come to Microsoft - not the competition - who were already using it in other browsers. We should also remember that he and Jobs, and a lot of other software companies at this time, were all stealing stuff that wasn't patented or which was freely available as open source code or changing hands cheaply as Public Domain Software. Gates got the global OS, but this deposition shows he wasn't a particularly shrewd businessman. Then again, neither was Jobs. Both men seemed to have rapidly become just mercenary enough to seriously damage their relationships with the individuals who were close to them, and without whom they would not have made their billions.

It's about as punk rock as the nerd could get, but Microsoft was being targeted for being the best at what they did - market a business and user-friendly OS. The fact that this is mostly about IE (which is about the most unpopular browser for many years) is equally laughable. Netscape didn't die because of IE.

6h 55m 18s _This is the highlight of the deposition._ Boies: *_"What is J-Direct?"_* Gates pauses, looks at Boies rather knowingly, and laughs out loud. This is the point Gates knows Boies knows Gates has no way out. J-Direct was the method by which Java was altered to work on Windows only. It took conventional Java syntax and class names and used extensions only Windows would respond to. Therefore, in a world which was rapidly adopting Windows it meant developers would primarily target that operating system, and once the code was licenced, patented and/or adopted, it couldn't be used by anyone else. Sun sued Microsoft - and won - for its claim that Windows was Java-compatible, and for altering Java code licensed to Micrsoft as 'pure' Java.

[@cyphaborg6598]

It's actually a pretty dumb move, it will never work in the long run especially when they bought a license to use JAVA as is.

[@ginskimpivot753]

@@LangansBulldog-fi7zt Yes, but to be fair to Gates, this law suit came about because of a lot of jealousy, caused by the fact that he now had uncontrollable profits coming in from winning the race for the global OS. Jobs was not the genius he's given credit for. He actually had the first shot at a graphics-based OS, because Xerox developed it for their photocopiers, but shelved it because they though the proliferation of computers would wipe out photocopying. Gates actually bluffed his way to getting his first major funding. He had a rough DOS version which could only demo a small number of the abilities he claimed. He also had the foresight to realise that browsers would not be viable and saleable products for very long, as advertising revenue would eclipse sales. He gave away IE because he had the financial power to. He didn't just keep asking for more money...and the competition didn't like it. The US Govt litigation came way too late; the damage was already done. While the IE giveaway was judged unfair, he was - and still is - creating countless jobs and billions in tax for US coffers. I believe this is why they basically let him own-up and resolve the competition issues himself, rather than jump on Microsoft and force it to break up into separate entities. I think Jobs always carried the grudge that Gates hit big, leaving him to 'specialise' in an elitist approach, design snobbery, and a rather mercenary and unreasonable ethic relating to unique fittings and accessories, trick software, a difficulty for users to expand, modify or repair Apple gear, and a surprisingly successful psychology which sees the gullible paying huge sums for portable phones and super-thin laptops with a lot of glued-in parts. I never liked Jobs. He never gave credit to his key designers and technicians, and was always happy to go on-stage and let people think he was doing it all himself.

[@j.goebbels2134]

If Java truly was a free and open technology (only you and a professional liar like Boies believe that), then companies taking it and making it optimized to their own technology and platforms would be a risk/benefit. Complaining that someone did that with Java (and made it run demonstrably much better) is just misunderstanding what Java was. All this was a huge farce. It got a few politicians rich and made a name for a couple lawyers and showed Gates that someone more powerful in the world existed, but look at any of this, in the vast array of mediocre and sloppy technologies NOT created by Microsoft today, and tell me anything was accomplished.

The lawyer was clearly completely out of his depth. If you wanted to build a case of market monopoly and that Microsoft forced PC manufacturers to incorporate Internet Explorer and exclude any other rival apps or bundled software, particularly anti-virus and Web browser, you just needed go to the hardware manufacturers, not Microsoft's CEO. Then present the evidence to him around how Microsoft's relationship with OEM hardware manufacturers was very aggressive with restrictive OS licensing agreements and the risk of being effectively cut-off from the industry if you broke that agreement. The definitions of apps (and importance to Microsoft) is irrelevant and just bogs you down in technical exchanges and interpretations which are subjective and contextual. Microsoft also put several small competitors for apps out of business early on, companies like Disk Doubler (in the DOS era) by making rival features that copied what those early pioneer small software developers had created and included it in DOS unfairly. Those small businesses didn't have the legal resources to take on Microsoft and Microsoft used its DOS/Windows OS dominant position unfairly in the marketplace. It's the conduct of Microsoft and it's relationship with OEM's (and competitors) which as we all knew and know, demonstrated clear aggressive anti-competition and market-monopoly objectives and aims. Bill Gates was massively playing down here the importance he saw of IE in Windows in 1998, when the Web was just starting to take off before the dot com boom. He would later write an entire book on the subject and how he saw 'the information superhighway' as being the future of PC's. The irony is, despite Gates accurate vision of how PC use would evolve ever more towards Internet use over the next decade, Microsoft as a company remained too focused on its hugely profitable Windows-licensing business model and did not focus enough development resources into Internet SERVICES and personal data usage, such as creating a Web search index to rival Google's early efforts. It would soon become apparent that would have massive commercial and social importance for Internet usage in the coming years. Back in the day, Web though was just one of many Internet tools, and not that useful in the early-mid 1990's to ordinary people..other Internet services like Usenet and Gopher were more commonly used and the Internet was still very much an 'academic thing' to many businesses and PC users. Microsoft was in a prime position to take the lead and change that early on, but ended up playing catch up against Google with Bing years later. Microsoft's strategic approach was to 'make the Web reliant on Windows' by introducing IE-dependent tech into HTML and Web development, rather than focusing on the importance of Internet data itself and how users might use it in the future. First to market and user adoption is vital in the tech industry. Google just wasn't taken seriously as a competitive threat. And so Google slowly crept up on them from a tiny non-profit search engine and developed into the Internet services superpower company it is today that massively overshadows Microsoft. Google has a market monopoly practically on mobile device use far beyond just Web search, and is eating away at Microsoft's out-dated PC and Windows focused business model. People were worried about Microsoft's monopoly power in 1998 and even long before..but today Google's power that crosses from consumer and industry to economic-socio-political areas is truly astonishing (and terrifying to some) by comparison. Anyone who uses Android and Google services and loses their account will know what I mean. It's like being 'unplugged from the world' and losing your life in an instant.

[@Kirix]

Yea I agree with all of your points and read the Bill Gates book where he predicted 'Pocket PC's.' I think the culture at Microsoft with Gates and Steve Balmer didn't foster much innovation and focused only on billion dollar ideas instead of letting employees develop their own projects at work like Google does to inspire creativity. They did do a lot of cool Research projects like animatronic toys controlled by CD-rom games, WebTV, Kinect, etc

@@douggale5962 in my years of genealogy research, the pronunciation of Mc and Mac sometimes just depends on the usage in practice for each word, and not on the spelling. Americans seem a bit obsessed with the idea that the spelling of a word determines how it is pronounced. Just look at British place names. Gloucester, Grosvenor, Leicester, Marylebone, and countless everyday words.

This is the visage of pure evil. He killed someone he called friend in order to prevent a lawsuit over the Windows operating system just prior to the release of Windows 95. Research Gary Kildall. Gary Kildall invented the CPM operating system (this OS was the reason why the primary hard drive on all Windows machines is known as the C drive rather than the sequentially first letter.) IBM wanted to pay Kildall for the rights and to offer him a job. Kildall and Gates had been friends and they shared a workspace and often answered phone calls intended for the other. Gates knew that Kildall flew a light aircraft for recreation on Saturdays. When IBM called asking for Kildall and Kildall wasn't in the room, Gates told them that he would relate a message to Kildall on their behalf to be prepared for a meeting with IBM executives at Kildall's home. When they asked what time would be best for Kildall, Gates told them, "Saturday at 11am," the precise time at which he knew Kildall would be up in the air. When IBM arrived, they found only Kildall's wife who attempted to entertain them until Kildall returned, but they grew impatient and left and were insulted because they thought that Kildall knew they were planning to visit. In the aftermath, they told Gates that if he could somehow acquire rights to CPM, they would buy it from Gates and would offer Gates the job they were originally going to offer to Kildall. Gates used his family's money, which was non-trivial, to pay a company which specialized in reverse-engineering software and reproducing altered versions of it which the client would then be free to copyright separately to create a very similar operating system which was termed QDOS and which was rebranded as PC-DOS when rights were shared with IBM. Gates, however, never relinquished the rights and instead only shared limited rights with IBM. After all, he had paid $80,000 to a company in the early 1980s (a fortune) to fulfill IBM's request for a legally obtainable version of CPM. With IBM's adoption of PC-DOS, CPM died and Gary Kildall's chances at fame and fortune died with it. Kildall knew he had been ripped off and Gates knew that Kildall knew it. Although Gates made a great deal of money from Windows 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0, Windows 95 was slated to be the big money-maker as it was expected to have 99% market share in a rapidly-growing home PC market. Every other family in America was going to buy a license at $100 each. On July 11, 1994, three months before the release of Windows 95, Gary Kildall's light aircraft suffered mechanical failure and he plunged to his death.

[@rogerwilco1777]

When my car got stolen, they caught the getaway car and got the friends to rat out the thief.. but the thief never admitted to it and they eventually dropped the case.. the detective basically said without him admitting to anything, it would cost more to pursue the case than my case was worth, so it was dropped.. (Even-though the guy was on camera, left fingerprints, had 4 people rat him out, they let him go).. my old honda getting stolen isnt exactly the same as this, but yeah, the point is, even if they have you on camera and witnesses, never admit to anything, plead the 5th, give vague answers, I dont recall etc..

They should have focused the case on how Microsoft got every PC computer brand to preinstall Windows on their machines. Thats where the real anti trust business was happening. But the most heated competition was with the browsers. Even though there were a handful of other operating systems around at the time, they were far behind windows and mac os. But Netscape and other browsers were legitimately better than IE in some ways at the time.
