RE: [xml-dev] How Much of the Data in The World Is In XML Format?

["Bullard, Claude L \(Len\)" <len.bullard@intergraph.com>]

I never dispute another person's delusions, just their facts.   If they
shoot at the pink elephant, they might hit the dog that is barking at
them.

No one believed that Microsoft could threaten IBM with a copied OS.  On
the other hand, I knew that Netscape would lose to Microsoft as soon as
Andreesen made those comments about XML being MS FUD.  You can fight a
competitor but not the environment in which you compete.  You modify it
and it modifies you right back.

The game is long and goes to the persistent.  Sleep is the enemy.

Considering that the first part of  the sentence: "Viper is really aimed
at taking (Oracle) out of the market," is delusional, I have little
reason to believe the second part.
