I had some other examples of the thievery by Microsoft/Corbis of my intellectual property that I forgot to include in my last post:
On 8/9/2000, there was a press release about Microsoft’s plans “that will advance and accelerate the company's delivery of .NET software and services.” That date 8/9/2000 was 3 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, after 4/14/2000.
A press release from Microsoft dated 8/7/2000 announced the release of Microsoft SQL Server 2000. That date 8/7/2000 was 3 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, after 4/14/2000. The press release went on to mention an “Enterprise 2000” launch related to the “recently announced” .NET Platform that would occur on 9/26/2000. That date 9/26/2000 was 23.59 weeks after 4/14/2000.
A press release dated 9/26/2000 was related to the Microsoft Enterprise 2000 Launch in San Francisco and that “All Systems Go.“ The Microsoft web site indicates that their San Francisco office is at the intersection with Steuart Street, which I assume is pronounced “Stewart.“
A press release dated 8/10/2000 announced the new release of the Microsoft Encarta Reference Suite 2001. The press release noted that this was the first edition of Microsoft Encarta to include the Microsoft Encarta Africana edition. What really piqued my interest about that detail was that 8/10/2000 was 5.933 months after 2/14/2000. That means 8/10/2000 was 14 years, 5.933 months after 2/14/1986, which is the date I think I was shot down over the continent of Africa to become a POW.
A Microsoft press release dated 9/13/2000 announced that Paul Maritz was leaving the company after 14 years. The press release indicated he was a group vice president and that he would continue to work as a consultant to Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. The date 9/13/2000 was 33 weeks, 5 days, after 1/21/2000.
