COMPANY NEWS; Apple Sues Microsoft And Hewlett-Packard

Hoping to protect a key selling point of its Macintosh, Apple Computer Inc. filed a copyright-infringement suit against the Microsoft Corporation and the Hewlett-Packard Company.

Apple said software programs sold by the two companies infringed on copyrights Apple held for the way information is presented and controlled on Macintosh screens. The programs are New Wave, sold by Hewlett-Packard, and Microsoft's Windows version 7. New Wave cannot run without Windows, but the Microsoft program is also sold separately.

The suit was filed in Federal District Court in San Jose, Calif.

Roy Verley, a spokesman for Hewlett-Packard, based in Palo Alto, said, ''We don't believe we've violated any copyrights.'' Telephone calls to Microsoft, in Redmond, Wash., were not answered late in the day.

The suit does not mention Microsoft's Presentation Manager, expected to be the software that will control screen displays in the new generation of personal computers that will use the OS/2 operating system, developed jointly by Microsoft and the International Business Machines Corporation.

An Apple spokeswoman, Barbara Krause, would not comment on whether Apple would file a similar suit against Presentation Manager. She said today's filing ''shows Apple is serious about protecting its audiovisual display.''

Several lawsuits have already arisen in the software industry concerning the ''look and feel'' of programs. Last year, the Lotus Development Corporation sued two small software companies, claiming their programs infringed on copyrights on Lotus's popular spreadsheet program, 1-2-3. Two court decisions in the last two years had seemed to uphold the principle that the presentation of a computer program could be protected under the copyright laws.

Getting the link now!!! HMMM guess I know my s***

The suit could have broad repercussions in the industry because virtually all personal computer makers are moving toward more of a Macintosh look. That appearance is based on what the industry calls a graphical user interface, in which information appears in windows and operations are carried out by pointing at objects and menus using a handheld device called a mouse - a major selling point of the Macintosh.

and Apple would have a higher market share could they competitively price there hardware. I do enjoy my hackintoshed mini 9, but when it comes to doing real work I stick to a pc //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
