Antitrust maybe many things, the one I am refering to is the movie. For those of us in the UK it was on Channel 5 last Thursday. It was quite a good movie too. The basic plot was Milo is brought into NERV, a huge computer software company that everybody hates and is getting hit with antitrust lawsuits. Anyway the point is, to complete Synapse their latest project which will link every device in the world together they need really good code.
Milo is brought into the company to help although the only real way they can do it is to kill the worlds best coders, make it look like a themed attack such as racial, etc and then steal the developers code. It is working pretty well until Milo stumbles onto the plan and makes the source code publically available.
The point is though that this movie came out in 2001 and was likely to have been writen in 2000. And what have Microsoft done between then and now. Unveiled, the Dot Net initiative, an XML platform which allows every device to communicate with each other. Seeing the connection?
