In Response To: Carmack... (Miguel Chavez)

: BTW, is there any proof that MS has even sanctioned the work done by
: www.coderus.com ? All this talk about MS conspiracy theories again got be
: wondering what hard connection there exists between the two.
I'm not sure that Microsoft needs to sanction it. I'm sure they could challenge it if they wanted, on some grounds, but then again, perhaps not... I'm no expert in the associated laws.
What they've done is made their own technology and given it a developer interface identical to DirectX. It's like writing a stub library for all of the DX commands and then compiling your Windows DX code on a Mac using those stubs. These guys fleshed out those stubs with their own code--they didn't take the DX source and port it to the Mac.
I believe that's why they can do this sort of thing without promptly being crushed like an ant beneath a sumo wrestler, or this product simply being released by Microsoft as a Mac port of DirectX.
