  I'm not asking for you to apologize for it.  I am simply suggesting you
recognize your own biases.  They can color your understanding of things --
and they apparently have:

  You need to be more careful of how you read.  At no point does Miguel say
that.  Those are The Register's words.

  Reading *just* the quotes attributed to Miguel, he basically comes off as
being impressed with the technology of .NET, but mentioned the Microsoft
issue very little.  He also appears to be interested in what has been
submitted to ECMA as open standards, and not interested in the proprietary
Windows stuff.

  Given that, and that alone, I would be cautiously optimistic.
