Frederick: EXTREMELY well put IMHO. More and more people don't care anymore about "control freak" companies, nor do they need to care as this paradigm shift accelerates on the InterNet. It's all coming down to the "real" experts now, not PR hyper-marketing approaches which are now being exposed with the aid of the InterNet. It's "rubber meet the road" and that is one of many reasons why MSFT is hurting. Previously, the masses were not connected to the point that they could perceive the controlling,manipulative nature (and lack of product quality) of this company. From here on out (as more and more people become connected) it's performance,trust, and truth that makes the grade not BS.

Frederick, somewhat in support of your "cool post", I have to note a bit from the Register a week back that I found amusing. Lest anyone think that everyone at Microsoft believes leveraging the Windows monopoly is the only possible business model. . . 'Pissy emails from billg' - MS exec sinks teeth into Gates theregister.co.uk Having expended way too much time writing about the subject on SI in the past, I don't have much to say anymore. Bill'd probably have been ok if he didn't feel the need to be Microsoft's chief legal architect as well as chief software architect, that's his choice though. Cheers, Dan.
