It wouldn't surprise me.  This is a pretty vicious battle.

But it is almost unnoticed in the "outside world".

Today's paper has an article about Microsoft+Yahoo.  No mention of
open-source's role in this remote-desktop battle, of course.

The big point was that they all want "to broaden their ability to
deliver ads all over the Internet, wherever it reaches."

Feck!
