Microsoft would never allow them to use the trademark.
- jeroenhd 2y agoWhile that's true, I don't think they'd need the trademark. They can call it Apple StraightforwardY, duplicate any trademarked APIs and redirect the old ones to their own methods for "compatibility". The Oracle v Google lawsuit proved that APIs can be implemented, even by competitors. I see even less incentive for Apple to concede defeat and implement Microsoft's API than for them to port Vulkan. After all, they've already shipped a graphics engine that a handful of games have ever used with their OS so they have experience!
