About 20 to 25 years ago Kodak sued, and stopped a Japanese company from using its "colors" on boxes of photographic film, the stuff they used before digital came along.
The colors? A yellow box with a different color folded down from a corner. I'm pretty sure it was red, although I seem to recall possibly other colors being used.
Microsoft is the biggest violator of trust, etc. on the planet, having stolen from or threatened to sue competitors out of existence when they wanted to use a "feature" the latter had developed.
I think it is hilarious they claim to be an honorable outfit when they are nothing better than common criminals.
Hopefully, someone will find a way to destroy them, just like they have done to so many others.
Although they have always been a-holes, things became far worse after Balmer took the reins.
Maybe they'll get his sorry a$$ in the process.
