Ok look at the history of programming language and AT&T operating system -

Prior Art

Given any one who has completed computer science course work from 1967 till present

understands that we learn from previous life-cycle
of programming language(s) &&
operating system(s) target for
specific
platform - hardware or
virtual - say browser or
cloud

Please refer to Prior art of AT&T Bell Labs before the
break up - per gov request / judgement

per rules of current
game

REM past

year 1999, new york, new york a publication conference on "component" ============================ Dr. B. Meyer, was discussing, design by contract. i.e. mission critical software. i.e. "emergency dispatch call center" i.e. "parameters, specification, understanding i.e. "problem domain" a government some boat a few years ago I believe it relates a "unique type of boat" a salesman "solution provider" convince the dod to replace, quality unix base, or cs based design software. when the live or simulated testing on a boat occured. the information entered by human user behind a windows nt operating system base workstation, which meet orange book specification, with by adding some "software solutions" to conform to some "posix or unix security model". whose interface was now based on "32-bit windows" graphical user interface. ..... This delivery platform, was dead in "blue water" for two hours! ..... Yeah microsoft deserves to be ... split up just like AT&T and its Bell Labs wealth of "golden knowledge base" to increase competation and increase and develop new opportunities in the computer science information technology and management information systems realm.
