Addendum:
Microsoft can be ignored, thereby painting a lovely picture for you to gaze
at. But they will only continue to fool you. Don't just hide away from
anything that you don't feel comfortable with. If you stand for nothing, you
will fall for anything.
I don't mind the next-door neighbour that lives over there idly and barely
ever disturbs me (Apple or Sun, for example). When the neighbour minds my
presence and steps on my lawn (e.g. SCO UNIX and Microsoft), then I'll grab
the pitchfork and stand for my right to keep my garden safe. Microsoft play
dirty. Microsoft _are_ a convicted monopolist. Just accept it.
