I would suggest that all those projects forget the idea that M$ can be "free". (as in freedom, not as "free beer") > > Thanx to M$ there will be many controverse discussions IMHO ;)! To me, it means that no one should have anything to do with M$. M$ provides good technologies sometimes, but the price they ask for them is lost of freedom. Please read any Microsoft End User Licence Agreement, mainly Windows XP's EULA, Windows Media Player's EULA. I am not ready to give freedom against a technology. Those can't be compared, nor evaluated on a same scale, IMHO.
