Logic apparently doesn't count when it comes to market share numbers infoworld.com

Finally, there's this guy who's been with the ilk since long before we had a name. Pretty strong words this time around, but not exactly original ones, it's a message I've sadly been preaching for well nigh a year here. Of course, my Microphile counterparts have been preaching the same message all along, with a different conclusion of course.

Netscape Navigator and Sun's Java are the only two things that stand between Microsoft and monopoly control of the Internet. Bill Gates and his "I surfed 10 hours and couldn't find enough Microsoft formats" memo coupled with Microsoft's ISP license agreements that require ISP to use Internet Explorer-specific features demonstrate that Microsoft intends to populate the Web with Microsoft-proprietary formats.

This is a difficult recommendation, and I do not make it lightly. But if we are to keep the Internet as an open playing field, the Justice Department must extend its actions well beyond the consent decree, perhaps even forbidding the integration of Explorer into Windows 98.

Well, I'm not holding my breath on that second paragraph. But, resistance must be offered, on all fronts.

Cheers, Dan.
