Nearly every other company hasn't corrupted the system to the extent
that MS has. Nearly every other company doesn't have such influence
that MS has, such that it is almost impossible to not do business with
them ..
See a current example of such corruption. What's extraordenary is how
totally ethically blind the 'technical evangelist' is revealed to be.
It isn't as if he paused for a moment to consider if subverting the
process was wrong. Same with their current attitude towards ECMA.
"-- Consultants: These guys are your best bets as moderators. Get a
well-known consultant on your side early, but don't let him publish
anything blatantly pro-Microsoft. Then, get him to propose himself to
the conference organizers as a moderator, whenever a panel opportunity
comes up. Since he's well- known, but apparently independent, he'll be
accepted - one less thing for the constantly-overworked conference
organizer to worry about, right?"
