Discontinuation and legacy
Lighthouse Design was acquired by Sun Microsystems for its Java development tools. Rosner was later hired by Apple Computer, where he directed the development of Keynote, which contained many user interface similarities. Though Sun CEO was aware of this, he took no action until Apple CEO Steve Jobs called to complain about the resemblance of  at Sun to Mac OS X at Apple. Schwartz then brought up Keynote's resemblance to Concurrence, which Jobs was known to have used. Despite potential the legal issues, neither took action upon one another.
