This is a really good article. The quotes from MS and Sun whitepapers are
living proof that rarely are superior technical means being espoused.
Superior sales are the more likely culprit, especially when a solution is
proposed as new and innovative, when it usually isn't.

Another snippet from the .NET whitepaper:

<snip>
Everyone believes the Web will evolve, but for that evolution to be
truly empowering for developers, businesses, and consumers, a radical new
vision is needed. Microsoft's goal is to provide that vision and the
technology to make it a reality.

In other words, evolution in and of itself is not empowering. Without the
vision[tm], evolution is "deempowering".
