Micael,

     I am sorry that you think of yourself as one to be believed as
dim-witted, because I know that I never inferred anything of the sort. Do
you have some issues you would like to talk about?.  Isn't it ironic how
everyone continues bash MicroSoft because they make such horrible products,
yet everyone wanted the sourcecode released.  If it is such garbage, why
would anyone want it??? <clip> God, some people! <clip>
     As for my comments being worth the time saying, you and James did read
them and feel a need to respond. So maybe they were worth it after all.

Personally, I don't really want or need to see Microsoft's code. What I would like to see is their file formats, protocols and APIs being documented so that other developers, open-source or otherwise, can interoperate and compete with their products. Then I can choose to use or not to use Microsoft products as I please.

I'd also like to see all that provided royalty free and unencumbered by patents, submarine or otherwise. I haven't really flirted with the whole C#/.NET thing but this seems to remain a question mark over Mono and even the ECMA standardization.

Anyway, back to more pleasant dreams ...

Conor
