arg can't argue with the devil himself....

So there's a panther folder on OSX too isn't there ? Damn ... if it's true then you certainly can't argue.

This maybe apples big break. If microsoft release vista with all this stuff even the "Panther" folder then apple can sew and sew hard for copyright infragments. Because you shouldn't have to copy right everything you make the Mac OS X is copyrighted it's self saying that the os is copyrighted and everything in it. If microsoft release a replace calling it "it's own" then apple has everyright to sew. And if they do apple may become a bigger industry who wants to buy stuff from thefs

I suppose Apple has a bunch of kintters too?

Please check your spelling.

Well if apple wants to sue ... they can ... but the two important questions are:

1) Will they sue M$ ? ... when in the past they haven't even had the courage to speak out against them ... and do everything in fear of the Almighty Gates (call apple the good Gates' fearing folk)

2) Will they win if they try ? ... after all how good of a lawyer do you need to get ? O.J. got away with murder ... can Gates get away with copyright infringement ... hell yeah :D

Um. Does anyone know what's in the Panther folder?
Maybe they took some artwork or something. Maybe it's licensed under a friendly license or MS bought a license to it. Or maybe it's got nothing to do with Apple at all....

He shouldn't it is all based on the judge and the jury. To make it fair they should have a jury of some windows users some mac users then a linux user since the jury is odd number. If you have a jury of all windows users you know who is going to win.

Should Apple sue if they find as many things similar as they do they I guess they should unless bill trys to pay them off of something.

I don't know about the US but in the UK this sort of case isn't likely to be in front of a jury, but magistrates who are probably most likely to be Windows users. I wouldn't go round segregating Windows Mac and Linux users as lots of people use all three, I suppose you could subsitute the word "users" for zealots though.

Or else they just happen to have a preference.

I'm sure it'd be all legal in a case like this. I doubt there'd be any "ah sure they make a nice operating system" stuff going on. But I dunno...

Not everyone has a preference, and yes their job is to look at the evidence put before them and decided whether they're guilty or not and if so what kind of punishment they deserve.

Good gravy... Is that worse than running Win98 on a 486/66 with 16 MB of RAM (MS official minimum system requirements)?
