Twisting it around as usual Bit

First off, let me just ask: doesn't it already say something pretty dubious about your "counter arguments" that you have to mostly or completely change what someone meant or said in order to put up any kind of counter?

"I hear what you are saying about MS business practices and while I do NOT agree with you.."

So you REALLY don't think that M$ is arrogant and wants the industry all to itself, and that it hasn't lied and broken all sorts of laws? I'm really interested in what your take on M$ is..

"it isn't the subject of the article so we'll leave it for another day."

Like that's EVER stopped you from going off on one of your pseudo-religious tangents!

"What I do find interesting though is that you find fault in the fact MS is (in limited ways) adopting more of the open source model by releasing much of their source code and licensing their IP."

Where did he ever specifically mention that?

"One would think that removing some of the existing "limits" was a good thing and would draw applause instead of condemnation from people like yourself."

Actually, this will impose MORE limits. By licensing their IP you are now being hooked further in. What happens once a massive infrastructure is in place where some M$ IP is entangled in, and then M$ suddenly significantly raises the price on their IP? Situations like this are why the world is doing away with M$. They are STILL only interested in the money and control, and they are now the greatest hindrance to progression and evolution in the industry.

"no one or no organization can be all bad all the time."

M$?! Not bad ALL the time?! Bwahahahaha!!!
