Released products are exploited to it's users in all ways which are possible. In fact, even if the fact that google did in fact use reverse engineering, it should encourage companies like this to change. Just like how reverse engineering helps us to learn and modify, it should also encourage companies being "victimized" as a result of this engineering to evolve into something else. It seems silly that companies seem like they spend more time and money trying to stop reverse engineering rather than just changing their products.Catherine Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859283069051794606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736917697971066915.post-57868214113088458582008-09-23T17:43:00.000-07:002008-09-23T17:43:00.000-07:00Well the whole reason behind reverse engineering a...Well the whole reason behind reverse engineering any product is so that you can copy its features and put it back on the market as your own without it being provable that you did reverse engineer it.<BR/><BR/>I say that most products out there have been reverse engineered from something else, or remixed in other words.<BR/><BR/>So even if Google did copy windows then they are just using "Disney Creativity" by copying and adding their own touch.Patrick Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578155243182407694noreply@blogger.com
