caffeinatedTopic: Microsoft and VCSY
Hoot Gibson. I love it when people read. Reading is FUNdaMental. There should be a law: No read no breed.
By the way you get odd results using copy/paste to 'the clipboard' as it exists today so please excuse the huge type and all from some of these page to page cut and paste jobs. This tripod stuff does a realy good job of trying but there are so many hurdles between WYSIWYG formatting and the web page. So be glad what ya got and shut up with the complaining. You're lucky you ain't eating mudbugs with grits casserole for breakfast. The green beans. Can't do the green beans.
I suppose Oz is yearning for a universal clipboard and he thinks THAT will spur and spawn the next great leap in productivity Microsoft can mine for rubies among the manual-oriented crowd while the rest of the machine world marches on ahead to explore neato subjects like semantic automation and socialized aggregation.
Heh heh. Yep. I like this blogging life. Sit up in your altogethers and make pronouncements that the experts have to decode and verify. It's great. Great. I could actually make a business out of this one day. You know. Put an adding machine on the right side over here and then a percents calculator so peeple can figure out how many percents they are. Maybe a movie thingie down here by the pepsikoala hits motif. It would be mahvelous. Thimply mahvelous.
Now, as for Microsoft and what they can't do as opines our guru from the blue, I ... naw I'll save that until next post. I like this blogger's life ya know. I could take a real shine to it. Maybe paint my face and sing while the redwoods burn. Tragic. Tragic. By the way, what was that clown crying about again?

bart2e??? I thought we had all agreed IBM has VCSY under its wings and Verizon has NOW Solutions in a cozy place.
Microsoft could have 'squashed' VCSY anytime it wanted since 2000-2001!!!! Why would they not try now? How about a whole bunch of eyes watching now as opposed to back then???
When Microsoft announced Hailstorm don't you think they WANTED to squash VCSY? Do you think Microsoft did NOT know about Emily and the XML Enabler Agent and the patent application. Now that VCSY has the patent (and remember the allowance for it went out one week after Microsoft announced it would have to delay Vista - do I think Microsoft is capable of getting an advanced heads up from people in the USPTO that would have known VCSY was going to receive this patent. Uhhhhhh I don't know. They seem pretty inept at everything else. Why should they succeed in subterfuge?) the patent gives VCSY ownership of an architectural bottleneck and you can see it in Ray Ozzies complaint there's nothing 'out there' to sew up the web and glue things together!
In fact just for giggles and grins look here and read these two posts:

What Microsoft needs that it can't do:
and
Hmmmpphhh. I would not be good company right now.
Compare notes and how about reading the patent while you're at it:
patent: 7,076,521 Web-based collaborative data collection system
http ://patft.uspto. gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?u=%2Fnetahtml%2Fsrchnum.htm&Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&r=1&l=50&f=G&d=PALL&s1=7076521.PN.&OS=PN/7076521&RS=PN/7076521
LOL And isn't collaboration what Ozzie is supposed to be most up on? He invented Lotus for crying out loud for IBM. And he has the father of websphere working for him now. Where's the flying cars?
All that stuff is over at IBM and we know who 'all that stuff' belongs to. By now if you don't see the elephant you need to turn around because you're looking the wrong direction. Just read the material. Then you'll go fix yourself your OWN glass of koolaid. 'Excuse me sir. May I have more?' 'MORE???!!!'
WE know there's something 'out there' but Ray Ozzie doesn't!!! ROTFL Somebody needs to help him forget about a clipboard between the web and the pc because computers don't use clipboards. They use two-way transacting conversations. Not clipboards. LOL That's so low-brow even I can see that's an attempt at giving developers some way of competing with the agent patent.
Microsoft is dead meat pete!!! If they couldn't squash VCSY when they had the chance how would they squash them now when they obviously can throw some weight around???
Who knows maybe we've been too hard on poor Microsoft and poor Ray. Maybe they really DON'T see VCSY or the USPTO 7,076,521 "Web-based collaborative data collection system." patent!!!
Dear me. What will happen to the inner circle at Microsoft when they finally do get to read a copy of patent 7,076,521 Web-based collaborative data collection system??? Maybe Ozzie will jump for joy he finally has a way to sew the web and the pc together. Just think about the great articles Microsoft 'researchers' will be able to write about as their 'discovery'...
I mean... Ray IS looking for a way to collect data between the web and a pc and have it available to collaborate with right? Well USPTO 7,076,521 Web-based collaborative data collection system does the trick as far as I can see. Heck I bet you could actually build this 'web/pc clipboard' out of USPTO 7,076,521 couldn't you? I bet you could. Well HECK then. SOmebody write Ozzie an email and tell him we found just the thing for him.
Only one thing. Microsoft won't be able to say they invented it unless they pay like $25billion. That should be enough for something like that that can be used in EVERY proprietary legacy system that wants to get on to the web like Vista wants to but can't.
Isn't what Ozzie is looking for a web-based data collection system that you can connect to the web and any other system??? I think that's what he says he wants... but on a clipboard. No problemo. Looks like a work in progress to me.
