Comes v. Microsoft Resumes Today
,----[ Quote ]
| "Ronald Alepin, an independent consultant and former CTO for Fujitsu,
| disputed the idea that Microsoft had been an innovator in the field.
| He said that interoperability protocols were developed by companies
| other than Microsoft, and that Microsoft has simply extended the
| protocols and then refused to disclose the extensions. In so doing,
| he told the court, Microsoft "has hijacked standard
| interoperability protocols agreed by the entire industry."
