The IE team has returned to Maui after 5 years of exile. Didn't you hear?
Gates has retired and he's counting on Opera to mature so that he can take
over. What I find most disgusting, however, are cases where Microsoft takes
over Open Source projects where volunteer work is involved. The very same
people who helped topple a monopoly turn out to have worked to its
benefit... overnight. Personally, although Novell is not entirely possessed,
I have ceased to serve Opensuse at any level capacity. Recently, I might
add, Microsoft partly snatched (read: killed) the operatings on A9, on which
I relied. They tell them which services to kill because these proved to be
competitive with Microsoft's offering. So buh-bye toolbar, among other
things. When you can't/don't compete with them, eliminate them. How does the
law permit this conduct? Must be a loophole of some sort because it's
self-destructive capitalisation that's self-serving.
Best wishes,
Roy
