I just have to say that I like the open source movement and all but, saying that it's a threat to M$ is going a bit far.
As much as I dislike M$, they do have a crap load of capita on hand. Last estimate was 40 billion in liquid assests alone. I mean ####! No matter how hard a company tries to take them out, they have the money to by them 100 times over. :-(
The only way to defeat M$ is too convince ppl that they would be better off with another product. And in the US that's just about imposible right now. But, ppl are starting to wake up a bit in the home markets. It's getting the business markets thats the key.
i'm by no means a M$ supporter but, I see thier influence everyday in my line of work. They just have too much damn cash and that SUCKS!
I hope and pray the US justice department gets to break them up but, in the way they are planning, it could make them even stronger.
Enough of this ramble. That's just my 2 cents. And I pray M$ goes up in a big mushroom cloud!
But on a final note... no pun intended.
GO, GO... Mozilla! :-D
This isn't a troll or flame bait, just an opinion on the current market.
