No future in proprietary software (ZDNet)No future in proprietary software (ZDNet)Posted Dec 6, 2002 14:36 UTC (Fri) by robot101 (subscriber, #3479)In reply to: No future in proprietary software (ZDNet) by mnummeli Parent article: No future in proprietary software (ZDNet) Did you ever hear of a company called Spry and their browser called Mosaic? Microsoft "Give us your browser and make it do what we want and we'll give you a cut of all the sales from it." Spry "Great!"... except MS didn't sell it... they gave it away. Sucks to be Spry... =) Like most good Microsoft software, possibly excepting Word, they didn't write it, they just bought or stole it. DOS, NT, IE, Visio and FrontPage come to mind, and I'm sure they've done the same while trying to enter the 3D graphics software market.
