| Merriam-Webster defines "art" as: "The conscious use of skill and creative
| imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects." It defines
| "engineering" as: "The design and manufacture of complex products."

Everything except the 'why?'

| Speculation runs amok, ranging from a boundless greed and loathing
| in the corporate culture at Microsoft (from the top down) to
| scaring FOSS developers and users into submission by the threat
| of a legal sword of Damocles hanging collectively over their
| heads. But this is all theory and speculation -- great fodder
| for discussion, but nothing concrete.
