Re: "Windows 2000 is our intellectual property, and we will continue to drive forward with that," says Bill Anderson, head of Web application services for Microsoft, based in Redmond, Wash. But, he adds, "in a heterogeneous environment down the road, it will become increasingly difficult to interject proprietary standards in a Web-based world." Is that an implied admission that their strategy has been to interject proprietary standards into the Web? I'm not sure I've ever heard a Microsoft employee admit to that before. JMHO.
