Socrates placed "Argumentum ad homonym" as the least persuasive argument.
Not liking a new technology because of where it was authored is a lot like
that.
If new ideas are arrogance then,.... well never mind.
There is a lot of innovation and good logic on this list, and at times a
touch of arrogance. I can accept arrogance as the price of innovation.
Poor logic, on the other hand belongs on talk radio.

The only risk they're taking with XAML is a backlash against their
arrogance in discarding things that are already out there, but not owned
by them.
I suppose that's a genuine risk, but not something they're likely to
lose sleep over.
