Wouldn't surprise me. I put up my own lengthy observation of the issue here: http://webmechs.com/webpress/2008/07/google-vs-microsoft-whos-the-evil-empire-now/ The gist is that the Microsoft of today is a very different company that can no longer afford to be an arrogant monopoly, where stiff competition originating from the camps of OSS, Linux and Google have forced them to offer much better value in order to stay relevant, and that it is actually Google which is behaving more and more like the Microsoft of yore. In fact, if one were to operate under the assumption that Microsoft today is still the same old beast, one would miss a lot of cool new developments from that company. (Actually, if Microsoft *did* operate like it did before, I don't think it would stand a very good chance of surviving Google, Linux and OSS for very long...) -- ------------------------ http://www.neotitans.com Web and IT Consulting "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
