Two typos above corrected. I find these embarrassing, but I must become less
negligent. *frown*

There appears to be this gradual formation of /camps/, with executives
forming /pacts/ (e.g. Sun Microsystem-Google-OSDL-Mozilla-AOL,
Microsoft-eBay-Amazon-SAP, Apple-Disney-Pixar...). There are takeover and
fragmentations as well (e.g. Adobe-Macromedia, eBay-PayPal-Skype...).
I hope this doesn't means that we will end up with just a few giants rather
than a truly diverse market.
Best wishes,
Roy
