I think "interoperability" is one factor holding OSS/Linux/GNU back. At
some point, I'd like us to cut the apron strings and say "we are the
standard". That would mean making Microsoft build the translators to
interoperate. I can see MS running for a while as it's own self
contained system, for companies that want to go a pure MS route. But
surrounded by a lot of FLOSS they would be responsible for communicating to.
