"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)."

I'm astonished as to why this got posted on OS News. That whole thread is a waste of electrons. Eugenia, I've always thought of you as being quite picky in both your postings and reviews. So I don't get why you paid any notice to a pointless discussion.
What evidence was made to support the "incredible" technological advantage of M$. The funny thing is that for years I'd been reading that the commercial Unices had capabilities that could be found nowhere else and that M$ couldn't match them.
Lately, the common wisdom is that Linux will supplant the selfsame commercial Unices and not severely impact M$ installed base.
Here is the scenario: the "advanced" Unices are going to stand idly by while the "incredibly advanced" M$ will take over the planet and the "arrogant" OpenSourcers will do nothing?
What bullshit. I come to OS News to find quality posting. I can find crap on my own.
