"The Open Source community's answer is to ignore Microsoft's incredible technological lead - because it is proprietary and not a standard - and instead focusses on their own cool thing and self-gratifying cool features, because they think they can do better (which is where the ignorance combined with ego comes in)."

This sounds odd. For the last 12 months, everybody has been speaking about how Open Source is making whatever it can to _copy_ Microsoft and its products and accusing it of forgetting its own initial drive for new things.
And now this: "ignorance", "focus on own cool things" and "self-gratification". Sounds to me somebody isn't too much up to date. Oh well.
