It's postings like this that make some people think that Microsoft
continues its insincerity in the anti-trust area. While Ballmer
can publically claim "we get it," the posting above would make many people
think that (a) you don't get it; (b) you don't care; (c) MSFT needs to
better educate its posters on how to act so that they still have
plausible deniability.
So here, let me save you a few hours of corporate training and let xml-dev
once again prove its worth: because Microsoft has a monopoly position on
the desktop, it cannot do freely what others can. That's not an opinion
or viewpoint; it's a matter of US law. "With great power comes great
responsibility."
It is disappointing that you're surprised/offended there are some who
would call you/Microsoft on it.
