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?

Of-course it is still Apples , MS just bought it , well ColorSync for sure as a part of the 150 million bail out . I'll look for the article , not sure if I can find it , very old _________________________

carp Dino's are Babe magnets Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 27021 Loc: Hawaii	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 [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxOp5mBY9IY[/video] _________________________

If I remember correctly MS bought QT and Color Sync from Apple as a part of the great bail out I think you are remembering MS buying the licensing rights as part of the deal. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/

carp Dino's are Babe magnets Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 27021 Loc: Hawaii	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. _________________________
