The whole OS will be copyright, including the Newton Virtual Machine. The
development language, NewtonScript, is also proprietary (I would love to be
able to develop for WinCE using something like NTK and NewtonScript). Then
there is the Power Management software, and the various drivers (the way
Newton handles screen input is very different from WinCE). Some of this may
have been bought in, but lot's will be Newton-Specific

Subject: RE: NTLK Purchasing Rights to the Newton...?
What do we mean by "Newton Technology" these days? To me it just means
Rosetta HWR. I don't see that Newton has any other patented or copyrighted
technology that couldn't be used in some other PDA? I'm not saying it has
been used, just that it could be.
