Correct

If I remember correctly MS bought QT and Color Sync from Apple as a part of the great bail out . Which MS most likely Bastardized the code


Huh? I find that hard to believe....

Are you saying they bought the right to use the technology... or that they bought the technology?

I don't think that's correct, QT and ColorSync are still Apple's.

Found this , they called it ""Cross Licensing"" a part of the 150 million and settled some patent disputes

now if I can find the 1997 MacWorld article that gave the details , when there was mentioned that ColorSync and QT was ported over with the help of Adobe

Yes...ported over. That only means it was rewritten to work on another system/platform.
Completely different than owning.

I think you are remembering MS buying the licensing rights as part of the deal.

Right they bought it , the license , isn't that what I said ? I did not say they owned it as in only MS can use it . I could have more clear by saying license , thats my fault .

Quote:
Apple, with the help of Adobe had ported ColorSync 2.0 and its SDK to Microsoft Windows.


Surprised Adobe was involved ? I think it was around that time when Adobe released PS for Windows as well ? Then Quark followed shortly after and I believe ColorSync was the key for MS.
