Commentary: Will the real Microsoft please stand up?

| Mention Microsoft, and some would think of Bill Gates, the Windows 
| computer platform and the world's largest (and richest) software company.
| For a certain group of people, however, Microsoft is the embodiment of 
| an evil empire lead by a Dark Prince, conducting questionable business
| practices toward maintaining its (monopolistic?) market leadership.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Perhaps what Microsoft should do as a whole is to play better with others 
| and listen to its user base. The world and markets have changed, yet a 
| number of companies and organizations continue to struggle to maintain 
| their old business models. Using legal tactics instead of true 
| technology innovation will not endear nor create loyal customers.

| The concept of indemnification is insidious. Rather than assuaging
| fears, it actually contributes to them because the risks involved
| are so vague. Who might file a lawsuit? What code will be involved?
| What sums will be named? What other companies might step up to defend
| against it? What will be the long-term implications of the suit? And
| given so many unknowns, how can you budget for indemnification? How
| much security are you really getting for your money?
