1. Go to your school’s computer lab or a PC software store and experiment with current
versions of any two of the Quattro, Excel, or Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet programs. Write a brief
paragraph summarizing the similarities and differences in the “look and feel” of these two
programs.
A. - For me the difference between excel and borlan is that, all the formula needed to compute for large quantity of amount can be very easy because it provides complete instructions for every formula. I like excel most especially that I can be able to run a Visual Basic application in Macro. It can be converted into access and vice versa.
2. The courts took several years to reverse their initial decision and rule in favor of Borland.
What impact did this delay have on the software industry? How might things have been
different if Borland had received an initial favorable ruling?
A. - It has a favor decision for Borland. Because they allow Borland without thinking of its consequences and infringement. The industry might be mad and confused for this decision.
3. Assume that you are the manager of Borland’s software development. With the benefit of
hindsight, what different decisions would you have made about Quattro?
A. - talking about ethics here, the best thing that I will do is to do the right things and if that right things will be block then I might resign for I know that it is all illegal and someday I might go to prison for this act if I will consider it.
