Microsoft Files Complaint with the European Commission Against Motorola

Well, as a long term Amiga user, Im obviously supportive of a 68000 as well as of Google, because I blog. RIP Jay Miner.BTW; Gates is now in multitasking as well; he devloped a Media player plugin for FIREFOX.

well if you got a 4 core its obvious that you can have an instruction run through at the same time up to 4 times. SO if you scan for a frequency for example, you may have the same kind of instruction needed to be processed immediately, because its all the time for the same purpose.
Well, all you need then is obviously multitasking software.
I mean if Gates didnt do his homework and didnt develop multitasking software, thats not my problem. All you need is a juggler. The point was originally that you put one task on hold till 1 processor is free. Now you got 4 processors at hand and its way cooler. Shortly, Gates process handler sucks completly.

Then again, thats not the problem of Motorola. They produce hardware, not software. They are not liable for the ineptitude of Mr Gates.

So, I mean, they may try to get their share because they had multitasking in85 on an Amiga and not in 95. And, of course you may dislike thrash in stores like a X-BOX.

OK, because Im anyway nerved by the entire discussion and the idea that Bill Gates becomes the defender of free streaming video, I need to explain things further.

In 1985 the Amiga came out. It contained a blitter and a copper. A blitter can move bit blocks id est bitmaps pretty fast. A copper can generate lines and so on very fast. Now the revolutionary thing about the amiga was that it contained specialized co-processors that could execute certain tasks up to 1mio times faster than normal machines back then. That was especially valid for BLITTER AND COPPER.

Now, what you saw in former times were mostly sprites. Its easy to generate sprites with an amiga . But if you want to move small pictures, then again, you need a blitter.

Now, I once bought a terminator beast and I looked it up in the Internet and I found that it was Hercules. Well, PC gfx in 85 was simply Hercules and Bill Gates didnt change it. It took him 8 years at best. Amiga had up to 1280* 1024 dots whereas it mostly ended at 320*200 for the PCs not to mention 4 colours maximum in comparison to 16.8 mio at low resolution for an amiga.

There were several breathtaking gfx modes for pcs. Monochrome, Hercules, CGA, EGA,
Msth and VGA. Now, all is boring till EGA (16 colors, 640*480).
Then Bill Gates started to photocopy certain things on a brown Xerox. The first result was Msth. But things werent brown enough yet. I guess he spread sth on the Xerox, anyway, the final result was called VGA.

The next thing that happened was a special gfx bus. This was also breathtaking.
The first thing there was was an IDE bus. Then there was a VESA bus (ISA), finally sth called PCI. (look up Cirrus logic cl-gd5430)

Anyway, the point Im trying to make is that when they finally made it possible to have gfx run on a slot for a plotter, they cracked it open.

The result was called AGP (Advanced gfx port).

Entertaining is FIC a70L.

Then they (Bill Gates I guess) made the decision to have the crack closed again and we now have some mega-plotter non-agp port (whatever that is) it's mostly called PCI-X or sth.

Now, this disaster isnt very coherent. Its especially bad for a JUGGLER. There are millions of ways to address a video card.

Its slow, complex, lame, whatever you wanna call it.

So, I DO NOT THINK Bill Gates ever intended to support free streaming video. This man is a cheat, a liar and a hypocrite.
Especially, you dont file an anti trust lawsuit if the entire globe uses your begotten operating system COINCIDENTALLY.

Today, Microsoft announced that it filed a formal complaint with the European Commission against Motorola Mobility (and Google, who is in the process of purchasing Motorola), so as to prevent the vendor from blocking sales of Windows PCs, Xbox game console and other products.

Apparently, Motorola is unhappy with the fact that these devices provide users with the possibility to view videos on the Web or to wirelessly connect to the Internet using industry standards.

“You probably take for granted that you can view videos on your smartphone, tablet, PC, or DVD/Blu-ray player and connect to the Internet without being tied to a cable,” Dave Heiner, vice president and deputy general counsel, corporate standards and antitrust group, Microsoft, notes.
